Member Ratings and Notes

n:  Classic Laphroaig tar and iodine with a bit of steroids.  Fireplace ash.

 

p:  Much more charcoal than a standard Laphroaig. More woody too.  A nice malt.  A small step up from the 10.

Nose is charcoal, mild antiseptic, a little burnt plastic, hint of rest stop bathroom on the way to Vegas.

 

Palate is sooty, ashy, medium-sweet. Tasty and hits the spot for a peaty whisky, but not in an "aahhhh" way, it sort of just fits the bill. Petroleum-type notes. Finish dries out, but not very much so, with unusual tannic spices lingering. Not a lot going on here for me.  B/B-
