Lp8 - Elements of Islay (Laphroaig) Producer Notes
Nose: Brine and freshly laid tar are followed by prunes and dates. Classic medicinal notes of TCP mix with blood orange.
Palate: A cloak of dense, dark fruit and sooty smoke is draped over zesty grapefruit and dry spices. Cardamon and nutmeg mix with darkchocolate-filled lime boiled sweets.
Finish: More classic medicinal notes, with smoke and salt-encrusted mackerel skins to follow.
