The nose is flooded with oceanic notes, however those that have invaded an operating room: in fact the characteristic of the Laphoraig is the medicinal, pungent aspect, where the peat is still beautifully moist and saline, almost rotten, with a few touches of tar. An aroma of this type can make many people turn up their noses, even just by reading it, but lovers of peat drinks will find something to enjoy themselves. More pungent alcohol than might be expected, especially when compared with other whiskys with a more important alcohol content. On the palate, the same impressions are found, albeit more sweetened, always with that brackish sensation of seaweed, medicinal peat and spices. Everything fills the palate, but loses its bite relatively soon, perhaps due to the too well trained alcohol content (so much so that I prefer the Quarter Cask widely). After the drink, the brackish and peat notes persist, always with that hospital that remains there to try to leave you with a positive impression the next time you have to go there for real.
