Tastes

Nose: classic laphraoig peat, honey with a slight hint of almonds, white grapes and a hint of dark grapes, light bacon grease. Taste: base laphroaig with a very sweet mid palette. Honey and stewed fruits. Very strong peaty finish almost salty and peppery. Water is desperately needed here. It turns the nose into very lovely stewed fruits with honey and port, almost a jammy quality. Peat takes a back seat but is still somewhat present giving way to oak. Taste is then an intense oaky peppery bite with the fruits and peat. More water makes it even better with the peat up front then going into the jammy stewed fruits.

Nose: dense honey, plum, figs, apples / peaches. Light oak and grain. Taste: honey and fruit cake grain, peaches and green apples. Light fig / grape jam note.

Nose: standard japanese honey, light lemon, pear, shortbread. Almost a bit of fig, light peat, and chocolate. Taste: strong honey and fruity pear with the fig and dark syrupy sherry. Floral with notes of honeysuckle and rose hips

Nose: heavy peach and apple with a strong vanilla. Light hint of spiciness and dark caramel. Hint of citrus after tasting it. Taste: heavy oak up front gives way to a sweet vanilla with a very spicy cinnamon finish. Fruity notes sneak their way into the mid palette. Water buries the fruit notes and brings out the sweeter vanilla and caramrl notes Alright on its own but it definitely would seem like a good for cocktails

Nose: rye, dark chocolate orange, burnt caramel / toffee. Fresh lemon / slight mint. Taste: rye and burnt orange with a light dusting of cinnamon. Light herbal dill and light honey. Oaky finish that is strong but does not dominate (if that makes any sense) Water and air seem to dull down the burnt caramel / oak notes and bring up the citrus and herbal notes

Nose: fresh apples and dark dusty peat / earth. Cleaning product, sea air, lemon grass. Taste: string caramel and peat up front which turns to apple fruitiness and a dark chocolate finish. Afertaste of mild earth and sea salt.

Nose: bananas foster, deep burnt caramel. Light sherry nose with buttered cookies and light honey Taste: bananas and tropical fruits turns into malty honey. With toffee and caramel

Nose: sharp grass, vanilla, honey, almost a sort of vanilla marshmallow. Taste: grass and rye spice with a light honey and caramel.
