Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
a sweeter sherry this time, and a mild smoke – and a discreet Laphroaigness. A little leather plus plenty of figs, raisins, dates, then moss and damp earth, pine needles… A walk in the forest after the rain with a large pack of sultanas in your hands, I’d say. And a gun, as there is some gunpowder. Much more herbal liqueur after ten minutes, smoky chartreuse? With water: it’s the dry smoke, as well as roasted chestnuts and toasted bread that come out. Got drier this time
restaurant Palate
very creamy and very sweet, before more pepper comes in. Liquid honey, orange liqueur, sauternes… Was that PX? With water: a kind of sweet syrup that tends to dominate the distillate. And we all know that it’s not easy to dominate Laphroaig
timer Finish
quite long, still rather sweet, with an earthy background. A lot of chocolate in the aftertaste
