After sipping (and reviewing) the Bunnahabhain 18, which I described as "delicate," I somehow reached for this whisky, which self-proclaims on the tube "The most richly flavoured of all Scotch whiskies." Which is not far from the truth. So much going on here: it's like an olfactory coral reef, ablaze with neon yellows and blues and purples, browns and grays and greens and blacks, some moving, some placid, all surrounded by various depths of electric blue. Or: smoked meat, ashy tangerine, barn hay, horse saddle after a long ride, balsam, hazelnut, cinnamon, caramelized banana, wet cardboard, and yes, "burning hospital." It's all there. I believe I prefer the normal cask-strength ten-year Laphroaig (will have to check that). 4.0+ on the Distiller scale.
