Laphroaig
Laphroaig 18 year old 43%
The deep burnished gold colour gives a clue to its age. A simply stunning nose with the maturity evident from the start. Slightly honeyed fruit, earth, straw, iodine and gentle medicinal peat waft from the glass. Slightly smoky with a perfumed vanilla note on the edge. Given some time aromas of cod liver oil along with hints of bog myrtle and camphor emerge.
The palate is quiet oily, opening with the cod liver oil, vanilla and mature, gently sweet fruit. This is followed by waves of subtle, crumbly, pure peat, whilst the elevated level of alcohol gives it a freshness and bite to the mid palate. Mature, gentle and mellow with a very long salty/ coastal finish, leaving behind a faint iodine after taste.
Interesting to see that time has expunged the fishy and tarry notes of youth, but it has gained a lovely, gentle fruity mellowness.
