F-I-N-A-L-L-Y. I have finally found the legendary whisky that once opened, the bottle smells like a fresh can of recently opened tennis balls. The myth is true, this is the one. Not on the glass though, it has this note in the bottle. After that exciting event, i got to say that Laphroaig 10 year old is a heavily peated, very "islay" dram. As a fact i have tasted (and loved) the Johnnie Walker Island Green, and now i know what does it have inside: its laphroaig. On the nose, once the bottle is opened, if you smell it, you will percieve a freshly opened can of tennis balls. On the glass it is a typical Islay single malt: very peated, prunes and bonfire. Lovely. On the palate is medium-long bodied with a very straightforward note of burnt rubber or burnt meat, that instantly changes into a hot (mild) and spicy (pleasant) note. Finish is medium, with hints of mint and spices. The whole experience is awesome, you should try this at least once just to teach yourself and others that not every whisky is alike. If you pick any highland whisky, this is the complete opposite. Beautiful, drink it on a beach day
