Laphroaig 10 Year Cask Strength (Batch 10)

Wonderfully smokey but not overpowering. Carmel and oak. Smooth enough I almost can't believe it's cask strenth. Relatively new to whiskey, but I will be looking for a bottle.

Nose: Floral, spice, smoke, Spree, cereal sweetness, iodine and dried fruit. Palate: Dried dark fruit, smoke, leather, spice, cereal sweetness, and coastal notes. Finish: Long -> Smoked dark fruit and toffee fade out with an earthiness.

Nose whoah smokey, tar, coffee bean, coffee bean in chocolate, touch mocha, also some medicinal touch to it. Palate is delicious so much more darkness in it: mocha, dark chocolate, coffee bean in dark chocolate, cedar, cedar in dark chocolate, aniseed, aniseed in dark chocolate. Slightly burnt chocolate. Again tannins are over the roof here. But in a pleasant way. Also quite sweet lingering finish.

This is the right balance of peatiness for me. Smokey enough to savor without burning out my nose hairs.
