Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

a very clean Laphroaig, similar to the usual 10yo but with a little more of everything, that is to say more peat, more lemon, more grapefruit and more gunflints in this case. Not too medicinal I must say

restaurant Palate

pretty much in the same vein. Ripe kiwis and pineapples, even more grapefruits, more peat than in the 10 and quite a smokiness

timer Finish

rather long, getting salty with time. Very salty actually. Excellent, 89 points. Last minute info: our friend Geert tells me that The Syndicate is a club gathering ten famous whisky people on Islay, including distillery managers, who are funding their activities by doing their own bottlings from time to time. Laphroaig ‘Quarter Cask’ (48%, OB, circa 2007)
