Whisky Notes (86)

Courtesy of
Nose: intensely peated, with some icing sugar and heavy vanilla. Perhaps a very active bourbon cask, maybe even a virgin oak finish. Bonfire smoke and even light TCP, giving it something Laphroaig-esque. Hints of citrus peels. After a while I got a subtle lactic note (buttermilk) which always points me towards Ledaig.
Mouth: more straightforward now, with raw peat, sweet barley but also lots of briney notes and heavy iodine. Some liquorice and aniseed, as well as some (burnt) caramel notes. At this point I’m thinking they are trying to trick us into thinking we’re having Laphroaig, but I find it quite narrow, maybe it’s youngish.
Finish: long, intense but even more narrow and mineral, with sharp ashes, ginger and brine.
