Amazing nose that is densely layered with aromatic curiosities. Seaside brine, lemon balm, earth and peat and tar, wet stone, toffee and dark fruits with a faint whisper of anise. Remarkably full bodied, this is a beast of a Laphroaig with complexity on the palate that matches the nose. White pepper, dark fruits, oiled leather, caramel toffee, seaside campfire, meaty smoke, black pepper and baked stone fruits. The finish is lush, fat, and long showing smoke, wet stone, sweet dark fruits, vanilla and a bit of salinity. Just a stunner from front to back. Reviewed by: Binny's
