Note de dégustation
Un Laphroaig typique. Du bouquet émanent des effluves de fumée, de tourbe et d'algue, ainsi que des notes de vanille et de miel. Une vague de tourbe déferle pour enduire délicieusement la bouche. En son centre se révèlent des nuances de noix, de caramel anglais, d'embruns et de malt miellé, riche et rond. Superbe. (1001 Whiskies You Must Taste Before You Die, 2012)
Note de dégustation (anglais)
With a touch of water, the peaty warmth fills the mouth but does not overshadow the sweet chocolate smoothness. This is balanced by the rich toffee taste and slowly fades into a delicate hint of heather and peat smoke. Full bodied, long with a luxurious oily smoothness.
At bottling strength, a soft toffee sweet but faintly spicy flavour counterbalances the trace of delicate phenols and fruit. An all encompassing smoothness brings these together. A touch of water allows the seaweed and salt to come through but not enough to overpower the vanilla and honey sweetness with just a trace of new mown hay and peat at the finish. An instant warming tang of smoke fades into smooth floral scents, which blends seamlessly into an oaky nuttiness and leaves a lasting sweetness on the taste.
