Review transfer from Barreled from August 2016. A bit confused why Laphroaig insists on adding color to their product when they put it in a green bottle that is then put into a cardboard tube so you can't see the color until you pour it. 43% ABV and it is chill filtered. Anyway, being that it's Laphroaig I love it! Classic medicinal iodine and brine nose with a faint lemon-y citrus note, and of course loads of bonfire smoke. The phenols from the peat smoke overpower almost everything else. The palate is smoke,smoke, smoke, with salt and bit of pepper and a surprising sweetness. The finish is salty smoke that goes on forever. Even though the Quarter Cask is at 48% ABV I think this one has more of a punch in the palate. Love the fact that Laphroaig was sold as a tonic during prohibition because the government figured the taste was so awful no one would possibly drink it to get drunk. And nearly 100 years later it's a favorite of many a peat head. 4.5 Slante mhath!
