Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
completely and utterly stunning I'm afraid to say. An exquisite and intoxication fusions of exotic fruits, medicines and old school, highly aromatic peat smoke - to the extent that it rather becomes its own aroma. I'm sure I've written on these pages before that I would class 'old style Laphroaig' alongside something similarly singular and identifiable like 'Pinot Noir' or 'garlic'. Anyway, I think that's enough about this nose, anti maltoporn brigade etc, etc…I wrote down 'other flavours' last time I tasted it, should you be interested in that sort of fine-tuned geekery
restaurant Palate
same comments, just stunning. Breathtakingly fine salinity, layered peat smoke, crystallised and ripe exotic fruits intermingling. Hypnotic old Laphroaig that drags you along in its wake. Nuff' said
timer Finish
long, layered, hugely complex and stunningly fresh
