Martine Nouet
35- Nose
- Big, rich, intimidating, sherried. Resolutely by the shore. The medicinal touch mingled with oaky tones. Burning applewood log.
- Palate
- Sweet and silky. Sherry elegantly balanced by peat. Camphor is integrated in oak, giving way to a complex range of flavours.
- Finish
- Dry, spicy, light smoke.
- Comment
- Age acts as a melting pot. All the distinctive Laphroaig features are there but combined into oak. Interesting.
Dave Broom
35- Nose
- Rich and powerful with hanging smoke: applewood, smoked nuts, lightly tarry, wet leaves. Water brings out hessian, walnut and a sweet soft fruitiness, cider, wax. Perfumed.
- Palate
- This is dried fruits and a hint of melon. The phenols reduced to fish oil, Vick's inhaler, tar. Becomes drier to the finish.
- Finish
- Emerges like the engine of a fishing boat.
- Comment
- Laphroaig's tarry phenols seem the hardest to break down and reluctant to change.
