LAPHROAIG FOUR OAK (2017 - 305)

N: Immediate smell of Dirty Peat, with Wood Pellets, Ash, Salted Caramel, Pepper, Honey, Vanilla, Grass and Pine aroma. On top of this there is Citrus. Oddly Calamine Lotion. (9/10)
P: Very thin. Sweet Peat, Lemon, Salted Caramel, Wood, Chili heat, and Ash. Gets mildly creamy with hints of Vanilla. (8/10)
F: Medium-long, Dry. Peat Smoke with Citrus, Hot Spice, Vanilla, Ash, and Salt. (9/10)
There is quite a lot of complexity, but little sophistication. Rates higher than QC in my book though.
