Tasting date: 10/18/19 ABV: 51.5% Color: gold Nose: peat, light smoke, salty with some sea air, caramel apple Palate: peaty, smoky, a little hot but didn’t overwhelm like some cask strength. Finish: long and warm, peaty and smoky Impression: classic laphroaig character with some additional sweetness. Nicely balanced at the cask strength. A little more floral with water but better neat.
