Tasting Notes

Nose

Honey, malt, caramel and a noticeably more delicate peat than traditional Laphroaig. Vanilla, pear-heavy orchard fruit, Scotch spice and an ambiguous sweetness. Gentler than expected.

Palate

Initially sweet, then the classic dry, peaty, ashy flavours bound in, followed by a rich finish from the European casks. The five cask types — oloroso, American white oak, PX, quarter cask and bourbon — create breadth at the cost of intensity.

Finish

Warming with a restrained peat. The multiple cask influence rounds things pleasantly.

Expert Review

7.5/10

Laphroaig's most accessible expression — five cask types softening the medicinal Islay peat for newcomers.
