Laphroaig 10 Year Cask Strength (Batch 11)
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed
November 13, 2021
Nose: Iodine and sweet peat upfront. Sweet honey, vanilla, briny salt, stewed fruits and baking spices. Heavy on the iodine, peat and salt brine.
Palate: Rich, peat smoke, saltwater, with malts. Sweet honey, vanilla, with stewed fruits. Long finish with baking spices vanilla, honey, leather, sweet tobacco, licorice and cardamom.
Final Thoughts: Tasted this against batch 12 and prefer the batch 12 slightly over this batch. Both are wonderfully complex, but this batch seems a bit less balanced with more heavy on the iodine and salt brine. That said, this was still great and incredibly complex. Each sip reminds me of roasting marshmallows (semi-burnt), on a seaside beach, over a hickory wood campfire.
