Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Whisky (1990's Bottling) (Unboxed) 10 Year Old

Colour

Rich coppery amber with a warm honey-gold core and subtle mahogany undertones.

Nose

Powerful peat smoke floods the nose, crowned by iodine, sea-salt and maritime brine. Medicinal notes—bandages and antiseptic—sit atop a touch of sherry sweetness, with vanilla and charred oak. A whisper of citrus zest adds lift as it warms.

Palate

Powerful peat and medicinal iodine greet the tongue, carried on a briny, sea-salt backbone. A waxy, oily mouthfeel coats the palate, with hints of vanilla and gentle sweetness balancing the smoke. Ashy char, singed barley and a kiss of citrus emerge before a long, smoky finish that lingers with maritime echoes and peppery warmth.

Finish

Long, maritime finish of medicinal peat and iodine, salted with sea breeze and a whisper of charred oak. Subtle sweetness weaves through the smoke, ending in peppery spice and a lingering, smoky glow.
