Laphroaig Brodir

Porto cask lerde bitim, sherry tadı tatlı bitim

Tasting notes on the app are pretty on point. It was finished in port casks and that’s exactly what you get: peaty, smokey Laphroaig layered on top of slightly less prominent port wine notes.

Ah Laphroaig...even your not so great is good. Good official review on this. I have a problem whereby I can taste flavours but can't put my finger on what they are until I read flavour descriptors. Strawberry...of course now I read it it hits me. Lovely balanced drop. So light and smooth and smokey... with the trademark iodine bringing up the rear. Initially after the Millstone rye this was so faint but unlike some drams which hit you with flavour and drop off this goes the other way....slight on the initial hit then builds and builds to a lovely afterglow. Now the downside of reading other reviews for flavour guides is..well you get other things which come along for the ride and get implanted in your head. Yes that strawberry is getting quite sickly... would i have noticed without pre-reading....maybe...ok definitely it's way to sickly. Hmm $130...whaat! Do I go with first or last impressions? Ok 3.5.
