Description
The Laphroaig 18 year old is made in small quantities each year and enjoyed bymany whisky lovers. A soft, sweet and spicy Islay peat smoke greets you when you open your first bottle. The first taste is an oak sweetness, from 18 years in the barrel. A faint hint of the sea can be detected, testimony to its time maturing on the remote island of Islay.
Nose:At bottling strength, a soft toffee sweet but faintly spicy flavour counterbalances the trace of delicate phenols and fruit. An all encompassing smoothness brings these together.
Palate:An instant warming tang of smoke fades into smooth floral scents, which blends seamlessly into an oaky nuttiness and leaves a lasting sweetness on the taste.
Finish:Full bodied, long with a luxurious oily smoothness
