Light colored—almost like vegetable oil. Medium bodied with an oily mouthfeel. Nose: smoked BBQ briquette with a hint of molasses sweetness. Salted pork. Sweet peat and seaweed. Powerful camp smoke and charcoals. Faint lemon at the end. Palate: honey and some citrus sweetness quickly overtaken by rich smoked brisket and bbq. Dense Smoke rises through the middle and the sweet peatiness and seaweed join in too. Sea salt also appears in droves. The finish is intense, smoky, and unrelenting. It just keeps going with billows of smoke and it leaves the taste of smoked brisket, sea salt, and a hint of charcoal on the palate. This isn’t for the faint of heart or the peat haters. That could be said of ANY Laphroaig, but this one especially. This is an intense Islay whisky expression and a must try for anyone who loves these peated whiskies!
