The nose is utterly intoxicating- it has smoke, coast, and a citrusy flavor derived, most likely from the fino finish. It has the briney, smokey, coastal flavor that we all know and love from Laphroaig, but it also has a sharp, zesty, citrusy, lemony flavor, from the fino finish. It's got hot peppercorns, ash, saltwater, and lemon. Stellar- the only thing better than regular Laphroaig is special, limited release Laphroaig!
