This is the marmite of Whisky. You either love it or hate it. I love it. Absolutely love this. Think a clinical, hospital environment on the nose, maybe some plasters and iodine. Then the power of the sea is in the background but keep on the nose and I find creamy toffee notes and salted caramel. A real dirty peat which Laphroaig is famed for, unlike some other sweet peats that can come from Islay. If I’m having a couple of drams, I sometimes like to start with the laphraoig 10 before going for something sweet afterwards. It completely opens your inner sense of smell and taste. Delightful! 🥃
