Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Light gold; bright and clear with thin legs
Nose
Gentle for Laphroaig — light peat smoke, vanilla, sweet barley, a touch of dried fruit from the PX cask. Less medicinal than the 10yo; more approachable and cereal-forward. Faint seaweed
Palate
Light-bodied compared to other Laphroaigs. Sweet vanilla, gentle smoke, barley sugar, and a hint of dried fruit. The medicinal edge is significantly softened by the multi-cask approach. Some find it too gentle for a Laphroaig
Finish
Short to medium finish. Gentle peat smoke, vanilla, and a touch of coastal salt. The most approachable expression in the range, but lacks the intensity that defines Laphroaig for many enthusiasts
