๐: Very light ocher with thin legs, sparkling notes;
๐: The obvious Laphroaig notes, hits you with the band-aid smoke from the get-go and keeps on hitting, sea spray, iodine and peat smoke come at you with intensity (this is 54% ABV after all);
๐
: The smoke continues on the palate and caresses the tongue all the way down, more smoke and alcohol carries itself up to the nasal areas and stays there, the smoke totally covers up the Scotch, beautiful yet smoky;
๐: Long, lingering finish where you finally are able to taste the actual Scotch which was masked within a shroud, be careful of this one because though it's lingering, it doesn't taste very strong but remember it's 54% ABV.
