Laphroaig 10 Year Old

Nose: Peat² and smoke², with the infamous biting medicinal note (Nice to meet you!). After writing the notes of this first encounter, It still haunts even from half a meter. The sweet side was most difficult to describe, the thing I got was a weak vanilla, but just a drop of water rewards you with caramelized apples, toffee and just once a slight pineapple note. A sea brine accompanies everything modestly.

Palate: Nice oily mouth feel. Huge peat, and a bit of a trapped sweetness. The salt is quite strong on the palate, just like over salted food.

Finish: Earthy, long and medicinal.

I enjoyed this immensely, but it was the one that was also the most difficult to describe and discern. It really keeps you focused and dazzled at the same time.
