Kinda hard to share my two cents when this whisky lacks so much personality. It isn't bad - it just isn't much of anything. In fact it's actually unfortunate just how much the barrels have stripped this expression of the quintessential Laphroaig character. There's a touch of medicine here, but overall it's predominantly smoke and wood. There may also be hints of caramel, apricots and raisin, but honestly, I'm being generous. This was ok.
