Tasting Notes

Colour

bright straw

air Nose

rich, dense, sweet peat smoke, combined with citrus curds, smoked marmalade, preserved lemon, mango salsa and tiger balm. An immediate and potent reminder of just what terrific distillate Laphroaig is. More of these beautifully soft, fragrant and slightly herbal peat smoke notes, with gentle seawater and crystallised exotic fruits. With water: coal smoke, beautiful flecks of citrus, brine, capers in olive oil and an increasingly lovely salinity

restaurant Palate

ashier, full of seawater, mineral salts, beach pebbles, crushed seashells, squid ink and fresh razor clams. Superbly coastal and even fishy in a good way. Some kelp, pure kiln smoke and bonfire ember impressions. With water: becomes very pure, direct and precise, dominated by seawater, lemon juice, briny notes, crisp peat smoke and a wonderfully dry, coastal profile

timer Finish

long, lemony, ashy, peaty, mineral and sharp
