Laphroaig 18 Year

Subtle barbecue, TCP/Iodine, vanilla, deep floral notes, sugar and leather appear on the nose. The palate brings on a very refined peaty smoke, ginger, custard, cream, vanilla, and butter. It's a thinner mouthfeel that expected, but it is well aged. The long finish is a nice creosote, tar, rubbery ball of goodness. A reverse campfire with light fruit. Brings to mind "What's the Frequency, Kenneth" by R.E.M. because of the guitar solo. Anyway, you need to take your time with this as @cascode and @ScotchingHard stated (thanks for the tips guys). This is a definite 4.75. So close to the 5, if it was a little oilier, but I am far from bitchin'.
