Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts on peat smoke and iodine (what else!?) as well as soaked barley, wet hay, oysters plate, kelp, flints and a little humus. Nothing else but nothing more, a flawless and classic relatively young Laphroaig, probably slightly above standards. The other day, a friend told me that “once you’ve tasted one of these young Laphroaigs (or Coal Ilas), you’ve tasted them all.” Not ‘quite’, I think
restaurant Palate
a fairly simple but perfect attack on peat, apple skin and lemon zests. Quite some marzipan and smoked tea, a little salt, nori (that Japanese seaweed they use to make makis), grains… Again, simple but flawless
timer Finish
ditto (and very long, at that). Another excellent young Laphroaig – quite special indeed. Maybe after 20 years in its bottle it'll resemble the one that's below... 86 points . Laphroaig 1970/1986 (54%, Duthie's for Samaroli, 75cl, 720 bottles) A legendary bottling
