The nose is first strongly marked by fruity freshness, green apple, before opening the curtain on very marked sea notes. A plate of apples on the beach. Than some nice oily, creamy peat appears. The whole is nicely balanced and generates lots of pleasure. And there is something more, difficult to describe, the little thing unchill filtration conserves in a well grown whisky. A kind of transparent veil covering various well balanced flavours. After a few minutes, a discrete medicinal impression. It remains a Laphroaig...
The mouth is remarkably balanced, first very fruity, developing progressively on peat. Peat impression develops constantly, and never gets too dry while keeping the fruity exuberance of the first nose. A remarkable complexity. Chocolate notes. This is a master piece.
The finish is long and very warm. Nice peat, remains of chocolate, memory of a very great whisky. Just a pity this whisky is not on the market in its cask strength version...
