Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

this one is much more lemony, almost sour (in a nice way.) Chocolate-dipped candied lemon zests. Unusual notes of passion fruits and mangos ala old Bowmore (granted, ala old Laphroaig.) Superb smokiness (peat but also coal.) Top notch but you have to like lemony/acidulated notes in your Laphroaig

restaurant Palate

wowie, this one reminds us of much older official versions. Beautifully citrusy and ‘tropical’ (pick your fruit), with the spices and the peat forming the most enjoyable showcase. Let’s not elaborate too much if you please

timer Finish

long and superb
