Very similar price to Laphroaig 10 Cask Strengh, but tastes different than any Laphroaig I've ever tasted . Strong charred oak on the nose, burnt caramel and roasted nuts, maybe some BBQ bacon. However, what sets this whiskey apart from others from this distillery is the taste. Lots of vegetable and herbal notes, rosemary, sage, thyme, pepper, sweeter notes underneath, maybe some licorice. Finally the smoke appears at the medium length finish. At this price, the 10CS is a more interesting whiskey, but the fact that this is exclusive to the US and only 3 casks were bottled makes it definitely more special.
