Laphroaig 18 Year

About: Ths well-known brand just replaced its 15 year with this. It has a slightly elevated proof of 96.

Year Sampled: 2009

Nose: Light vanilla, fermaldehyde, gasoline- but somehow smooth.

Palate: Flavorful, leather, mellow.

Finish: Tasty explosion. Never buries with peat but it's there.

Overall: Excellent. It's light and smooth enough to make it perhaps TOO drinkable. Not the medicinal Laphroaig we're used to. Happy day.
