This is such a delicious whiskey! A mixture of malt, BBQ meats, sweat peat, strawberries and cream, dark fruits and mixed nuts greet the nose and continue on the oily palate. Heat builds over time. The long finish starts spicy and morphs to a sweet, fruity, menthol.
nose gets you an initial hit of peat, then this red fruit sweetness, the port is evident right at the end of nosing. palate starts out sweet, getting more port then the sherry (more raspberries and strawberries than raisins and figs), then the phenolic peat comes in. the finish starts with that phenol peat, then it gets into vanilla before finishing up with the figs and ruby port in a fun finish that keeps going and keeps switching between the two flavor profiles. I love peat'n'sweet, and this is both taken to an extreme I really enjoy.
On the nose would not have thought it was laphroaig but it was intense. On taste the pest come through as well as rich berries. This is a fantastic whisky and a testament to the distillery
