Michael Jackson
87- Nose
- Peaty, burnt grass.
- Palate
- Cracker-like crisp maltiness. Leafy, herbal flavours. A hint of seaweed.
- Finish
- Smoky. Both appetising and warming. Very distinctive.
- Comment
- A lean and lively Laphroaig, more smoky than seaweedy. The flavours are long and persistent. Enjoyable, more-ish and appetising.
Dave Broom
87- Nose
- Strangely pale. Immediate hot blast of iodine, toasting sea shell, tar and driftwood burning. Sooty, a touch of smoky paprika. In time lanolin and TCP.
- Palate
- Seems young. Bone dry. Very smoky, tarry neat. Water coaxes out a sweet fruitiness.
- Finish
- Dry.
- Comment
- The colour indicates a second/third fill cask: it's spirit not cask in charge.
