Laphroaig Lore

This is a delicious Islay and is very much in the Laphroaig style. It's intense and dense. It's a bigger whisky than I remember the Laphroaig 10 being. It also has more sweet notes to counterbalance the citrus that I normally get in the Laphroaig 10. This is a contender to be the best and most complex whisky that I've ever had, but it's definitely better to have this in colder weather as it is too dense to be a summer sipper. Nose: Strong citrus, peat, and sherry. There are light vanilla notes as well. Palate: Salt, dense smoke, brine, fig, raisin, vanilla. Finish: Very long and like a chameleon (ever changing). My favorite note is a dark chocolate smoke and there is a raisin sweetness/citrus leaving your mouth watering. Mouthfeel: Oily with very slight ethanol spikes around the mouth. It still reminds you that it is whisky, but doesn't make you pay for it.

The nose is briny and peaty with dark fruits. This scotch is a campfire on the tongue with flavors of marzipan and salt and a mouthfeel that is buttery, delicate, and rich in all the right ways. Such good stuff.

Pretty much exactly what I like. Pleasant peatiness. Love it!

Rich, complex

After the amazing reviews online I had to try this whiskey 🥃 it was stronger and less smooth than expected but really flavourful rich stewed fruit and campfire flavours evolves and lingers forever! Had this today as my 3rd whiskey and that’s probably where you want it! The richness can really be appreciated after having some subdued whiskeys aka every other whiskey lol! really unique flavourful scotch to say the least
