Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- More like wood smoke than peat. Gradually, beach aromas emerge. Barbecued scallops?
- Palate
- Oily sweetness. Cereal grain. Toast. Buttery vanilla.
- Finish
- Peppery, lemony.
- Comment
- At first, I did not recognise this as a Laphroaig. Then I thought that age must have muted its attack, but 16 is scarcely venerable. Can a whisky be an old fogey?
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Incredibly pungent, room-filling phenolics. Fishboxes, hot tar, engine rooms. With water, biscuity malt, wet rope, salt spray, dried fruits.
- Palate
- Very dry. Smoked paprika and balancing sweet maltiness.
- Finish
- Fish oil.
- Comment
- A classic Laphroaig. Allied? Beat this.
