General description

Nos, nawet ja na Laphroaig, spory smród smoły, albo z wprawy wyszedłem, w tle owoce czerwone, czereśnie, przypalony dżem, czuć sporo, naprawdę sporo słodyczy.
Smak: gorzkie kakao, fusy czarnej herbaty i znowu dżem, i znowu ten przypalony na spodzie garnka, chyba wiśniowy, whisky tłusta oleista.
Finisz, średnio długi, tłusty karnelowy, jak zwykle swąd.

General description

Auburn Mahogany colour, oily
Magnificent Travellers exclusive -1 ltr
It's sweet with an "easy" peat nose, (as expected:)
Its Rich, quite viscous & very good; though finishes short to medium, like you've enjoyed that last caramelised burnt sausage.
You'll know it's 48% on the 2nd mouthful!
No regrets with this one!

Nose

Rubber & smoke, sherry sweet, Greek honey

Palate

Drying, peaty & spice, smoke is perfect

Finish

Odd finish for me - more a very dry red wine & some bitterness, but not harsh!

General description

Up until now, the Quarter Cask was my preffered Laphroaig. This PX Cask expression prefectly matches peat and sherry.

Nose

Peated smoke and underlying fruit. It really has that burnt sherry cake thing going on. Initial smokiness leaves place to more sweetness.

Palate

The palate reminds me of a Springbank, but with deeper, maybe more complex peat. It has some subtle sweetness, like sultanas maybe.

Finish

Wonderful finish. Full of smoke and dry fruit.

General description

Nose : much milder smoke than laphroaig 10. Probably because of the quarter casks since the quarter cask bottling is mild as well. Sweet sherry but also some sour notes.
Palate: sherry, sweet fruit
Finish: medium dry, sherry, pretty mild

General description

Initial peat wave and alcohol is a bit noticeable. Then sherry starts to surface but has a hard time with all that peat. First sip sweet through the peat. Alcohol quite relevant when swallowing more. Not long finish but permanent peat.

Sweet tobacco earthy peat.

Nose

Sweet peat, fresh tobacco, earth, cinnamon, slight iodine, salt.

Palate

A bit flat compared to the nose. Smoke, vanilla tobacco, sherry without the spicy bite.

In der Nase der typische Laphroaig Rauch, dahinter kräuterige Süße, wie ein Honigschinken im Kräutermantel. Dahinter eine schöne Vanille Note.
Im Mund erst seidig weich, dann kommt der Alkohol und mit ihm kräuteriger Rauch, der sich im Abgang intensiviert. Dazu wird der Abgang süß und würzig.

Note: 2+

Fruchtig, rauchig lecker

Nose

Sherrynoten, Rosinen und leichtem Rauch. Dahinter etwas süßes Lakritz. Mit einem Hauch Wasser zeigen sich Marzipan- und Mandelnoten sowie reife Früchte

Palate

Intensiv und voll auf der Zunge. Rauch und Eiche dominieren zunächst den Geschmack und werden von einer angenehm süßen Sherrynote gefolgt.

Finish

trocken. Der Rauch und würzige Eiche bleiben als Eindruck zurück
