Mid peaty and with a nice sweetness with the sherry influence (berries) 2.5 2.25 Undiluted Nosing: hit hard on the start with sharp, peppery, peat, barbecue - midway and it quickly open up to tinge of fruitiness, vanilla, caramel is strong too. All through a burning alcohol through your tracts Palate: Light initially - followed by a hit of spiciness, iodine, medicinal and oiliness. Smokiness is light. Flavour is a lot stronger than the likes of four oaks Finish: After-taste has typical Laphroaig smoke. But the brininess lingers in your mouth References: Compared to Four oaks, I would say this, personally, loses in comparison. The peatiness is tamed and light which I adore about Laphroaig; but this offers a fruitier burst of flavour that you do not get with four oaks. I would prefer triple wood instead or lore for a more rounded flavour. The latter would be my choice though.
