An incredible nose! So rich and complex, one of my favorite noses if all time! The palate is good but leaves lots of the sweetness out that added the complexity to the nose that i loved. The palate leaves a bit to be desired compared to the nose. And finished well brining back some of those nose notes. Nose: smokey sweet red wine, raisins, slight hint of spice, mental picture is a ham covered in a sweet jam and then baked. Incredible nose. Briskety goodness. Palate: smokey and light molasses. Classic Laphroaig with peat, and spice, but higher abv 48% and raisins from the sherry. Finish: medium, returns back to the nose in taste.
