Description

This 18 Years Old expression of Laphroaig is made in limited quantities each year and savoured by a fortunate few.  A soft, sweet and spicy Islay peat smoke greets you when you first open the bottle.  The immediate taste is an oak sweetness, from 18 years in the barrel.  A feint hint of the sea can be detected.

Tasting Notes

Nose
Distillery:  At bottling strength, a soft toffee sweet but faintly spicy flavour counterbalances the trace of delicate phenols and fruit. An all encompassing smoothness brings these together. A touch of water allows the seaweed and salt to come through but not enough to overpower the vanilla and honey sweetness with just a trace of new mown hay and peat at the finish.
Taste
Distillery:  An instant warming tang of smoke fades into smooth floral scents, which blends seamlessly into an oaky nuttiness and leaves a lasting sweetness on the taste. With a touch of water, the peaty warmth fills the mouth but does not overshadow the sweet chocolate smoothness. This is balanced by the rich toffee taste and slowly fades into a delicate hint of heather and peat smoke.
Finish
Distillery:  Full bodied, long with a luxurious oily smoothness.
