Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
powerful, almost aggressive at first nosing and rather more lemony than other ‘expressions’ at first nosing. A bag of lemon drops, with a few pear and pineapple drops thrown in for good measure. This one is full of youth despite its fairly ripe age. What’s quite interesting is that the peat and the medicinal notes remain underneath all that. Unusual! With water: ah, water killed those fruits and did let the very peaty, coastal and almondy profile come through. Also whiffs of wine barrel, sauvignon… It’s even very, very faintly acetic
restaurant Palate
this time it’s an explosion of ashes and roots, even if the lemony notes are well there as well. Gentian eau-de-vie straight from the still, with quite some cigar ash as well. Do you see what I mean? With water: classic Laphroaig this time, oily, big, peaty, lemony, slightly camphory, rooty… Excellent
timer Finish
long, very moderately salty. Apple peelings
