Nose is totally different from your usual laphroaig.I get a sweet cherry jolly rancher smell. The peat on the palate is surprisingly more intense than expected given the nose. I honestly don’t get the expected sherry kick, it tastes similar to laphroaig 10 with a slightly different character that I find hard to pinpoint. With further deliberation I do pick out some sherry influence on the finish, but you definitely have to search for it.
