Description from the seller
Distillery: Laphroaig.
Bottler: Douglas Laing.
Region: Islay.
ABV: 59.9%. Cask strength.
Age: 21 years. Distilled in December 1998. Bottled in April 2020.
Cask type: Cask #DL14020, a refill sherry butt.
Price: N/A, tasting.
Color: 1.3, Russet/Muscat. Natural Color. Non-chill-filtered.
Nose: No shortage of peat here. Hardwood bonfire, barbequed hospital, salted licorice, dead leaves, smoked gouda, tourtière, and All-Dressed chips. porks: pulled, peameal bacon’d, and cider-braised. Rich autumnal (pumpkin) spice, black pepper, cayenne, and tarragon. Eventually the sherry emerges: cherries in syrup, prunes, orange bitters, vanilla, amber maple syrup, walnuts, and dark chocolate. Some slightly overcooked coffee and oily burning birch bark. A real deep one.
Palate: Medium-oily texture. Immediate spicy peat slap on the arrival, with spicy chili, tobacco, and damp earth. There’s a good amount of sweetness mixed in – sour cherry pie, flamed orange peel, tamarind chutney, cinnamon hearts, brown sugar, barbeque sauce, and caramelized red onions. Heavy medicinal peat smoke – creosote, swamp mud, iodine, and charred steak with baked potato. Hot peppers and spicy cinnamon toward the finish.
Finish: Long and smoky-spicy. Smoked brisket, or wait, is it braised brisket? More earthy-nutty baked potato. Tandoori lamb, camphor, iodine, and lapsang souchong. Hot cocoa, strawberry ice cream, and cloves. Lingering charcoal.
