A lovely Laphroaig, probably bottled around the beginning of the 1980's. Has nothing to do with the current (weak and even bland) expressions of Laphoaig. Nose Ah, old skool Laphroaig! Lots of fruity notes of pear and yellow apple. Melon and mango as well. Not as 'tropical' as other older versions I had before, but still really good. Gentle smoke at the background, but also hints of honey and lavender. Cigar boxes. Very complex. Taste Lovely balance of spicy peatiness and soft cedar oakiness. Sweetness of cinnamon intermingled with ginger and cloves. Carraway. Some citrussy notes of grapefruit, lemon and lime. Peel zest. Delicious. Finish Quite long. Black pepper. Liquorice. Saltiness at the end.
