This is a fine Laphroaig with an extraordinary aftertaste. That is the best description i can give to it. I don't believe it is the best laphroaig there is, it is not even close to that, but the aftertaste is really remarkable. Its name legacy is really a tribute to all the workers of the distillery who work hard for us to get fine whiskies.
Bottled at 48%abv
On the nose: Raisins. Peat is so powerful yet so pleasant. Acetone. Vanilla dry cake and Some red fruits. Nice.
On the palate: peat. But that kind of artificial, sulphuric, plastic peat from Laphroaig.
Aftertaste is just wonderful: Spice bomb. Wasabi, Pepper, A ghostly dried fruit like raisins; very Astringent.
There is definitively some sherry influence here, i really think this is a good dram, but since everything that Laphroaig does is good, i believe there are better expressions out there. 90/100.
