Nose - Big strong burning campfire with honeyed oak, damp grains and earth, salt and lemon cheesecake. Palate - Classic Laphroaig's honey coated wood and sea salt, maybe smoked fish, firey black pepper and oodles of tart sweet lemonade with dried tobacco leaves. Finish - Smoked brisket, faint olives, antiseptic iodine and bread. Really bold and unapologetic, silky smooth especially considering the high ABV, but with beautiful layers of complexity. It's great with or without a few drops of water
