Tasting Notes

white wine
air Nose
it's a Laphroaig that's already quite mature, in the sense that it's not that smoky anymore but also that it became more complex. In a way, it reminds me of the highly drinkable official 30yo. More soot than straight smoke, more crushed olives than plain brine and more 'old tropical cordial' than plain citrus. Add a little brioche, light vanilla, a pinhead of mango chutney and a long-forgotten pre-war bottle of cough mixture. Well, I imagine. Also a little old tarry tea and, yes, a wee wet dog. A Chihuahua?
restaurant Palate
impeccable, on the same flavours and aromas except that it's bigger and firmer than expected. There's something smooth and round (orange cake?) but other than that, it's full of smoke, brine, pepper, cough syrup, lemon and smoked fish. Kippery indeed
timer Finish
long, rather more medicinal. More eucalyptus, for example. Funny praline and fudge in the aftertaste
