Tasting Notes: This is how the Laphroaig 10 year old Cask Strength Batch 017 tastes like

• Nose: sweet and smoky with aromas of candied apple slices, crème brée and sugared pastries, then creamy vanilla fudge, roasted almonds and delicate, floral heather - above all intense smoke and a maritime breeze
• Palate: mouth-filling and complex - in the beginning, sweet and fruity notes such as apple compote, vanilla cream and pears in syrup dominate, followed by a wave of sea salt, herbs and smoke, seaweed and a touch of cooling menthol - with a little water, clearly smoldering, charred oak wood, plus sweet, caramelized undertones and grilled meat
• Finish: very long in the finish with a strong spice of black pepper, plus old leather and sweet smoke, which merges into the typical peat aroma
