Colour - deep copper
Nose - peat and sherry tightly combined, faints hints of banana, brine, seaweed, toffee, ice cream wafer, caramels, touch of honey and dried fruits with a dose of English breakfast marmalade.
Palate - Sweet peat mixing beautifully with the sherry, the peat is not overpowering in any way and stewed fruits come through, grapefruit, pineapple & mango, a little chocolate and Turkish delight notes perhaps a little rhubarb and custard?
Finish - Getting sweeter with the peat coming back a little.
With water the nose is more distant and the palate is more restrained, a little weaker so do not add more than a few drops.
This is the sort of elegant restrained whisky that I like but not worth anywhere near the silly money people pay for it now. _________________ Pour me a glass please. |

I haven't had the pleasure of trying this whisky. Sounds like one I would certainly enjoy. Thanks for your perspective and notes. _________________ "Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake."

Thanks, It is always difficult with drams like this not to be too subjective but it is quite a fragile whisky and quite delicate, certainly nothing like any other Laphy, well the 30 year was also a little delicate but not had that for a while. _________________ Pour me a glass please. |
