On the nose is the unmistakable briny, smoky, medicinal Laphroaig with an almost saffron scent; the sherry influence is noticeable. On the palate it's full, peaty, campfire, bandaids, medicinal, cinnamon and meaty. The finish is smoke, sherry, a good dry oaky warmth. The time in the Pedro Ximenez sherry cask definitely takes some of the edge off of this whisky compared to the Laphroaig 10. This should get better as you get further into the bottle.
