Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
typical modern times Laphroaig, very punchy, with quite some sweet notes at first nosing (apple compote, even white peaches) and then a development on peat smoke and iodine but with no obvious blast. It’s also to be noted that some of these fairly recent batches do display these touches of passion fruits that the oldie had, and it’s the case here. With water: the wet dogs are back (sorry dogs) together with a little cinchona and some chalkiness (wet)
restaurant Palate
it’s really the fruitiness that strikes first here, with loads of grapefruit marmalade, and only then a relatively green peat and quite some ashes. Not complicated, but pretty perfect. With water: even less complicated, and even more perfect. Marmalade and peat
timer Finish
long, mid-peaty, mid-citrusy. Perfect profile
