My second Laphroaig is this NAS, and i keeps the same profile as the 10yo only a little softer and younger. Bottled at 40%abv, with an old gold color. On the nose it starts with that exciting and unreal aroma of a "fresh can of tennis balls", with other notes of burnt hay, phenols, rubber, peat, cola and prunes. On the palate, it starts watery, with caramel for a short moment, then it switches to burnt meat, burnt rubber pepper and a peaty medium finish. A typical Islay, for 28 Euros is a cheap and great offer. I could recommend this for the islay lovers who are a little low on cash. This is a solid 86 over 100, making it more than a fine whisky. Cheers!
