Nose
A very sooty kind of Laphroaig. Lots of earthy smoke and leafy notes, wet limestone and leather. Exhaust fumes and hints of matches. Dark sweetness with lacquered roast meat and beef jerky, prune sauce, peppery chocolate and subtle medicinal notes.
Palate
Really dark smoke again, with tarry notes and mineral notes. Charred raisins, liquorice and Pu'ehr tea, with some cough candy. Espresso. A nice mintiness and sweet tobacco lift it up a little.
Finish
Long, still very smoky and leathery, with some salted almonds and cinnamon.
