Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Very pale and prickly. Seems young and edgy with big seashore aromas. Drying fishing nets with a certain sweetness behind raffia, peat fire, oyster shells. Water adds a little depth and brings out a bitumen/freshly laid road note.
- Palate
- Softer than the nose suggests. Light oiliness and robust smokiness.
- Finish
- Oats.
- Comment
- A good, clean Laphroaig. Not exceptional, but true to character.
Arthur Motley
80- Nose
- Creamy, medical peatiness, like lint bandages or plasters. There's a good sweetness behind, with lemon bonbons and sponge cake. A bit of spice.
- Palate
- Coal tar soap, and that vanilla creaminess is there, but cut through by a light creosote and some wood.
- Finish
- A little smoke, but relatively light and short.
- Comment
- Good young Islay, with an enticing nose.
