Laphroaig Lore

Petroleum

I was very pleased with the flavor and mouth feel. It is my current favorite Islay with a nice Smokey peat start and end with a hint of fruit. The nose is peat and smoke but not as much as an Ardbeg 10. Very smooth with a nice finish.

Riche, sherry, fumé, un peu tourbé, bien balancé

imagine the Quarter Cask a lot more complex, with more fruit, a little darker and less agressive. My favorite Islay so far.

Smokey and smooth crisp flavor

2.5 - just not worth the price. I understand why people enjoy it, but I would never purchase it. Nose - salty, I’m reminded of burnt tires. Palette - dries my mouth out. More smoky salt. Added drop of water. Nose - much tamer. Still smoky. Salt is practically gone and now receiving sweet berry notes. Palette - subtle smokiness. Salty notes are not as strong. Some sweetness on the palette. I would like more sweet notes. Finish is long!
