Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
immediate, almost instantaneous raw mineral peat (vs. medicinal) plus lime juice and light custard. It's rather raw, pretty simple, not too far from some recent OBs (can’t remember the names, ages are easy to remember, Gaelic not so…) Then rather bell pepper and juniper, seashells, and a very grassy smoke. With water: some oak spices for sure, but balance has been kept. Modern Laphroaig as the distillery themselves are proposing these days
restaurant Palate
very punchy, and all in keeping with the nose, full of a grassy smokiness, citrus peel, Thai basil, green pepper, and ‘licking pebbles’. Are there good pebbles on the Islay beaches? Machir? Really sharp. With water: same feelings, plus touches of salt and green pepper. More oak spices in the aftertaste (some curry?)
timer Finish
long, saltier indeed, spicier
