Tasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
rather hot and spirity at first nosing, curiously closed. Rather mashy, smoky but much less than expected, This one really takes its time, for it’s only after five minutes that it starts to exhale the usual maritime and medicinal notes, and quite discreetly at that. Seaweed, fresh oysters… Freshly cut apples, wet hay… A subdued Laphroaig, it appears. We’ll try it with a few drops of water but first, let’s taste it neat
restaurant Palate
ah yes, much more happening now. Not the usual bold peat and smoke, though, but rather lots of earthy, waxy notes and quite some liquorice. Very little bandages, embrocations or camphor and quite some sugary notes. With water: no significant development on the nose, except some funny cheesy smells (several cheesy Islayers this year!) and some stony aromas. The mouth gets a little more sugary but also a little dusty and cardboardy. Nicely, that is. The finish is rather long, mainly on liquorice. In short, a different Laphroaig that’s got its own charms. 86 points . Laphroaig 13 yo 1991/2005 (59.1%, SMWS 29.40)
