Beschreibung
Dies ist die erste Abfüllung der Laphroaig Distillery, die eine Nachreifung in Pedro Ximénez Sherry Fässern erhielt. Nach der ersten Reifung in amerikanischen Eichenfässern wurde der Whisky in Quater Casks umgefüllt, bevor er sein endgültiges Finish in Pedro Ximénez Sherry Fässern erhielt.
Tasting Notes
Nose: From the bottle there is a nice sherry aroma of sweet sultanas and raisins with a hint of sweet liquorice and only the slightest tang of peat. Adding a little water brings out the marzipan and almond aroma with a counterpoint of creamy nuts and lots of ripe fruits but again there’s only the slightest tang of peat smoke.
Palate: Without water a massive explosion of peat fills the mouth with huge amounts of oakiness only just moderated by the sweeter heavy sherry flavour. Adding a touch of water only slightly moderates the massive peat reek which very slowly fades and just allows a little of the sweeter sherried flavours to come through although there is always that burst of peat smoke that dries the mouth.
Finish: Concentrated peat and thick sherried oak with a deep dryness.
