Laphroaig Four Oak

Very mild smoke compared to some other whiskys. Quite balanced, yet with a nice oakey edge. Warming on the backend.

Pretty mellow and underwhelming

Nose: Strong peat smoke, medicinal notes, vanilla, caramel, subtle fruitiness, oak spice, and faint coconut. Palate: Full-bodied with upfront peat smoke, sweet vanilla and caramel, spicy virgin oak, and rich European oak tannins. Balanced with green apples and citrus. Finish: Long and warming, with lingering smoke, oak spices, and a touch of sweetness.

Light peat and minerality on the nose, and surprisingly hot for an 80 proof. Given the 4 different oak sources, the palate disappoints me. It's sweet, smoky, minerally, a hint of vanilla but kind of flat. The finish is short with some peat and mineral remaining. It's a fine whisky, just disappointing.
