Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

epitomically 'modern' Laphroaig, so more coastal/medicinal and less fruity/tropical than even the first '10 C/S'. It is shock full of mercurochrome, bandages, fresh kelp, clams and just this pretty tarry smoke that's still a little less tarry that the smoke of its close neighbours. See what I mean. I would add quite a lot of brine and seawater, as well as, there, a moderate lemonness. Wonderful saline purity. With water: bandages, oysters and fino sherry (or manzanilla). No further fruitiness

restaurant Palate

massive and subtle at the same time. Almost twenty years of bottle aging seem to have… done nothing to it. Huge salty peat, massive ashes, litres of eucalyptus-based cough syrup. With water: a little lemon marmalade for sure, but the core remains very salty, very peaty, and very ashy. You may add these two or three olives that we often mention

timer Finish

very long, on pure peat, seawater and just a little pepper
