Michael Jackson
87- Nose
- Soft. Lemongrass. Orange flower water. Very restrained phenols.
- Palate
- Rich oiliness. Linseed. Lemon zest. A martini with a twist.
- Finish
- Soothing, appetising.
- Comment
- A touch sophisticated for the likes of me. Where are those stinging iodine notes? They are in there somewhere, but beautifully balanced and rounded.
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Intriguing mix of smoke and cream. Coal tar soap, deck oil, dried seaweed, tar. Sugared almond and vanilla. Great balance.
- Palate
- A slow starter. Quite sweet then the peat ramps up into Germoline iodine. A silky feel.
- Finish
- Medicinal and dry.
- Comment
- Available via the website. A classic Laphroaig – much better than the 15 Years Old.
