When the name Laphroaig (la-froyg) comes to mind one can only think about the mysterious Islay, its residents and of course the rich history.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Phenolic, seaweedy, with a hint of estery, melony, sweetness.
Palate: Continuous gentle waves of dry peat lap upon the tastebuds but are balanced by a sweet malt middle and the most hesitant of vanillas.
Finish: Long and peaty, the shy vanilla now begins to show as the oak adds a certain dryness.
