Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

a rather cleaner, less farmy, more coastal and mineral version, much more in the style of the officials such as the new 10 CS. Rather more lemon too. With water: strangely enough, water made this one less ‘clean and zesty’ than cask #11007, but it’s also closer to the grains, with a little porridge. Very ‘natural’ Laphroaig. More gunpowder after a while

restaurant Palate

this time we’re a little closer to the sister cask, with the same kind of peaty/jammy profile but it’s still on the sharper, zestier side. With water: excellent! Orange marmalade, smoked tea (litres of lapsang souchong) and ashes

timer Finish

long, with that feeling of ‘good’ gunpowder again
