Laphroaig Select

Didn’t mind this one. My introduction to the world of peated scotch. Big on iodine, subtle on smoke.

Classic Laphroaig where smoky and peaty dominate the nose, palate and finish. I find no notes other than these two, with smoking prevailing over peatiness. Very short finish with a sweet note. Nothing unforgettable. ____________________________________________________________________ Classico Laphroaig dove affumicatura e torbatura la fanno da padrona a naso, palato e finale. Non trovo note diverse da queste due, con affumicatura che prevale su torbatura. Finale brevissimo con nota dolciastra. Nulla di indimenticabile.

Like Laphroaig 10, with much softer edges. Reduced smoke facilitates enjoyment of some of the sweeter honey notes. Still the heavy hospital disinfectant note remains. I like this cheaper bottle as much as the 10 year.

Has laphroaig flavour, but less intense and slightly richer...and sweeter Slightly rough Great for the price
