Laphroaig 10 Years Single Malt Whisky 40% 70 cl

Product description:

Laphroaig 10 year is a Scotch single malt whisky from the remote island of Islay in the west of Scotland.
Laphroaig, pronounced La-froyg, is a Gaelic word meaning “the beautiful cave by the wide bay”.

In the production of Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over peat fire. The smoke from the peat, found only on Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavor.

Smell: Smoky and medicinal. Real Laphroaig! Dry grain or grass that burns. Iodine, chlorine and tar. Smoked meat.
There is also a lot of salt and pepper in the nose combined with a little sweetness that I find it hard to put into words, but it could be some baked green fruits. Vanilla. Really smoky, but nice nose.

Taste: It starts sweet and slightly tart with a taste of apple juice. It actually feels a bit thin and it’s quite subdued.
There is both vanilla and caramel before it becomes more maritime. Lots of salt and pepper hits the tongue and then some smoked seafood. The smoke is starting to arrive and it becomes malty and slightly dry.
