A half bottle of the iconic, medicinal 10 year Islay's bestselling distillery, Laphroaig. This is a massive, punchy dram, it is said the medicinal character is from the high moss content in the peat.
This opens on big, smoky muscular peat notes. There are spices, and liquorice, as well as a big dose of salt. This whisky has become slightly sweeter in recent years, and it beautifully on the nose, amidst the classic iodine/sticking plasters and cool wood smoke we love.
Seaweed-led, with a hint of vanilla ice cream and more than a whiff of notes from the First Aid box (TCP, plasters etc). The oak is big, and muscles its way into the fore as you hold this whisky over your tongue. An upsurge of spices develop – cardamom/black pepper/chilli.
Big and drying, as the savoury, tarry notes build up with an iodine complexity.
This is my first introduction to islay whisky. I must say I love this whisky like a whole new experience of a different spirit almost. But might not be to everyone's liking very intense peat smell and rich taste lovely.
Super smooth smoky
It is absolutely amazing. The strong finish and the smoky palate leaves you wanting more. The only downside is having tasted its lovely peaty taste and them trying other lighter and smoothier scotchs, for those who love its intensity of course.
Great smoke and a lot of flavours!
The smoke and peat is an acquired taste. But when you acquire it, boy is this good.
