LAPHROAIG 25YR CASK STRENGHT 47.3% 700ML ISLAY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

COLOR Bright Red Gold. NOSE At bottling strength the aroma seems quite closed giving only a rich, sweet scent but a touch of water releases all the multitude of different flavors. The initial sweet, sherry sweetness is quickly followed by the time honoured Islay peat tang. After this opening burst of flavor there is a smooth fruit ripeness that complements the tang of salt in the background. BODY Rich round and full. PALATE The burst of peat that fills the mouth is quickly restrained by a sherry sweetness that slowly develops into spicy apple fruitiness. FINISH Very long and warming leaving a distinct tang of Islay.
