Nose - some classic Laphroaig here but sweeter. I get the sweet but gentle aroma of band aid with caramel, vanilla, BBQ and milk chocolate to round it out. Palate - the bourbon cask immediately hits me with caramel and vanilla. This gives way to the sherry finishing with dried strawberries, cherries with some milk chocolate. Finishes off with classic Laphroaig flavors. Mouthfeel is thick and coating. Finish - at cask strength it just lingers on - smoke, milk chocolate. This is one of my favorite bottles of Laphroaig, it just hits so many flavors I like in a whiskey. I’m glad I bunkered a few because this bottle is nearing the end.
