Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Amber gold; medium body
Nose
Complex multi-oak influence — vanilla and coconut from bourbon, dried fruit from sherry, oak spice from the various wood types. Medicinal peat is present but softened by the layered cask influence. Honey, toffee, and a touch of maritime salt
Palate
Smooth and approachable for a Laphroaig. The four oak types create a rounded, multi-layered sweetness that cushions the medicinal peat. Vanilla, toffee, dried fruit, coconut, and gentle smoke. Less aggressively medicinal than the core 10yo. Travel retail exclusive
Finish
Medium-long finish. Sweet oak, gentle peat smoke, and dried fruit. More about cask complexity than raw peat power. A crowd-pleaser within the Laphroaig range
