Laphroaig Lore

Nose: earthy peat smoke, salty sea, vanilla, apricot, nuts, malt, coffee, hint of marshmallow. Body: medium to light Palate: lots of earthy smokiness. Charcoal. Finish: smoke lasts a long time. Note: better than 2017 cardieas

A wonderful interpretation of smoky whisky, with enough character and bite to make this an outstanding NAS whisky. I get aromatic sweet peat smoke on the nose which gets carried over into the taste, along with those rich, meaty and medicinal notes. The finish is dry and smoky-sweet. "Enjoyable" : 3.5 stars | Well above average.
