I held off on buying this one after early reviews suggested it was a little underwhelming. But recent reviews have been better, and i got impatient waiting for the 2023 to arrive. On the nose lemon vanilla cream, seashell, seaweed, iodine, peat smoke. The palate is briny, vanilla sugar, lemon drop candy, caramel, seaweed, pepper, medicinal peat. The finish is lemon vanilla smoke. It's distinctively Laphroaig. It's smoky, salty, it's sweet. What's not to like?
