Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
yes it’s fresh, lively, without too much raisiny sherry, and with a lot of sea air, seashells, seaweed, and, well, anything from the sea. Some fresh almonds too, which I always find perfect. A little rubber, perhaps, in a good way, putty, fresh paint… It’s a rather kilny young Laphroaig. No water needed, I think
restaurant Palate
yess! Perfect arrival, whistle-clean but with an added roundness from the sherry, more almonds, more seawater, and only a moderate medicinal side. I find this absolutely excellent, and more or less in the style of the official 10 yo CS. Have to try newer batches of that one, by the way. With water (you see, procedures…): there, bandages, damp wool, barley water, liquid smoke… All very perfect
timer Finish
long, salty, smoky, extremely Laphroaig
