Cask Details: Two refill and two sherry Laphroaig hogsheads, distilled in 2014 and aged for more than six years.
Tasting notes:
Nose: Burnt toffee cake and cigarillo smoke are followed by the scent of a just-opened first aid kit - bandages and iodine.
Palate: Honey-roasted parsnip mingles with smoked, crispy bacon. Lots of brininess and some dried figs combine nicely with well integrated bonfire smoke.
Finish: Ash and orange-dark-chocolate along with a touch of thyme. Thick, dense wood smoke remains.
