air Nose
yeah! A rather expressive, superbly grassy and maybe more complex than usual Laphroaig, with more herbal notes than usual. I get olive oil, brine and even and capers at first nosing, just before it all gets more ‘traditional’, with some moderate medicinal and coastal notes and quite some hot ashes (charcoal, BBQ). Quite some apple peelings. Marzipan. Globally rather different from other Laphroaigs. Also hints of manure. With water: it’s the mint that comes to the front, together with some unexpected notes of Demerara sugar. Bacon. Fab
restaurant Palate
perfect, just perfect. Very punchy, superbly citrusy and herbal, tarry, very smoky, briney, almondy… Great Laphroaig when undiluted, simply very classy, everything the name Laphroaig should stand for. I love the notes of salted tangerines (have to try that!) With water: more of the same. And salted cough syrup?
timer Finish
very long, peppery, peaty, herbal
