Tastes

A nice simple whisky, very bourbon orientated which isn’t surprising since it’s solely ex-bourbon barrel. Lacks depth but very easy to drink.

Laphroaig never disappoints. Briny, salty and some sweetness in the background on the nose. Initial taste is a tidal wave of peat and salt followed by some floral notes where the smoke dissipates.

Lighter taste initially followed by the smoke and peat with a fruity undertone. Lacks depth at its age profile.

A beautiful beast, brings various different elements depending on how much water is added, I like a little and definitely not ice. Nose; light tobacco smoke hits you followed by a dark salted caramel plunge covered in some used coffee grounds, can detect some dried fruits, but difficult to pick out exactly what. The taste and feel has an almost oily viscosity which is dense and rich, far more so than most whiskies. The flavor is certainly sweet, with that salted caramel hitting first, before being drowned out by a peaty camp fire that has some metallic undertones; which envelopes your senses leading you to want another hearty swig

Honey and apple on the nose, with some caramel on the tongue. Smooth and lovely sherry cask finish. Reminds me of Glenmorangie 10, with a bit more complexity and depth.
