Laphroaig Lore

sweet nose. Not as smoky as the 10. Strong spicy start. Licorice. Smoke at the end. It is not an earthy smokiness but an ash. Very faint finish: ash some sweetness.

Nose -Smoky, medicinal, pine needles, mint, and a nice sherry finish that kinda brings this all together. Taste - Winter green, pine, salt, iodine, chocolates, band aids, plastic, and the finish reminds me of those candy cigarettes with a touch of chocolate and a hint of actual smoke. Really complex, almost overwhelmingly so. Lore I'm told has whisky up to 30 years old in it all be it I'm sure little of that. The pine and winter green notes are really interesting and of course the cigarettes smoke and ash. I'm not a huge Laphroaig guy when it comes to my peat, but this is great stuff.
