Tasting Notes:

Light golden color.
Rich smoke and peat nose. Classic Laphroaig smell.
Big oily textured peat and heavy smoke on the palate. The mouthfeel is very full and rich.
The smoke lasts a long time on the palate with a tinge of peat and a subtle iodine, sea character with some salt. Drinks very mature for its age.
Classic Laphroaig at a reasonable price.
