Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s true, we’re really close to the previous one, but this is perhaps slightly drier and slightly more tilted towards classical Laphroaig exotic fruitiness. In fact, with a little time, it really starts to deliver passion fruit, mango, guava and this more specific, highly detailed fruit profile. The peat is a little more dialled back here and it’s probably a tad more coastal and fresh too. Some lemon rind, seawater, mineral salts on the go etc
restaurant Palate
that extra ABV remains every bit as impressive, and that same feeling of density and texture come through loud and clear. As on the nose though, I’d say this one remains fruitier, drier, more coastal and a little more chiselled and precise. Citrus, exotic and green fruits doing beautiful things on the palate
timer Finish
very long, pure, dry, a brittle peat smoke, with many subtle tropical notes into the aftertaste
