Laphroaig 27YO Director's Special Single Malts of Scotland
The Tasting Notes
Chargrilled mango skins and toasted banana with waves of dusty coal smoke explode out of the glass. A wonderful rich heavy note of melted dark chocolate builds with just a hint of fresh mint leaves giving an indication of age.
An initial tropical sweetness plays on the tongue with flavours of passion fruit and baked mango which are complimented by a dusty, dark smoke and notes of cola and ginger. The peat evolves into rich tobacco and cherry jam.
Flavours of dried passion fruit and lime linger and develop with the sooty smoke softening while eucalyptus and mint remain.
Details
