Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

a very different profile, really on soft, slightly overripe green and exotic fruits, but with funny notes of shoe polish, creosote, tar liqueurs and herbal teas. A much softer and highly fragrant take on Laphroaig - with a lovely, ethereal and wispy peat smoke in the background. At times it is reminiscent of some old OB 10yo bottlings to my nose. With water: gets more fragrant and detailed, developing aromas of muddled herbs, coastal flowers, salted liquorice and wee touches of mustard and hessian

restaurant Palate

feels older than it is with these slightly extractive notes, wormwood, camphor, putty, cheng pi aged citrus rinds and smoked teas such as Lapsing Souchong. With water: a tad simpler, but very classical with straightforward peat, TCP, iodine and grapefruit notes that seem to be eternal Laphroaig benchmarks. Nicely drying and robust now

timer Finish

good length, nicely tarry, thickly peaty and peppery with a few more dried citrus peel vibes
