Laphroaig Elements 1.0

Real solid. Very smoky, a bit of apricot, peart. Really smooth

Caramel and sweeter than a typical laphroig

Immediately among my top 5 peated scotches regardless of age or distillery. The nose is fierce, with smoked bacon covered in fruit jam. The palate was equally strong and full, bringing more like pineapple and salted meat. Finish is long and lingering where the fruitiness, saltiness and smokiness perfectly alternate from front to back. This is a masterpiece by Laphroaig and my favorite offering from them to date.
