Color		Tawny
Nose	D'entrée, c'est somptueux. Un mélange aussi subtil que réussi de fruits exotiques, de sherry et de tourbe délicate. C'est très riche, avec des notes de banane trop mûre, et de toute une purée d'autres fruits exotiques mûris à point. De l'iode vient aussi se marier à la tourbe pour rappeler qu'il s'agit bien d'un Laphroaig avant que de subtiles notes animales et fermières (vieux cuir, étable) n'apparaissent ainsi qu'un très léger boisé. Je viens de tomber amoureux.
Taste	Elle gagnerait peut-être à être un peu plus puissante, mais enveloppe bien le palais. L'attaque est douce sur les fruits exotiques trop mûrs avant que la tourbe ne ressurgisse plus franchement qu'au nez. Le boisé est également plus perceptible qu'au nez. La fin de bouche se réchauffe sur des épices piquantes (poivre).
Finish	Intense et délicieuse mais manquant cruellement de longueur (bouh, pourquoi ça dure pas plus longtemps ?), elle est tourbée et poivrée mais distille aussi des notes fugaces de noix de coco ainsi que cette saveur de banane que je trouve très caractéristique de la distillerie (en tout cas des OB).
Comments	C'est superbe, mais j'en attendais encore plus. Le nez est tout simplement splendide, un des plus beaux que j'aie eu l'occasion de humer. La bouche est un peu moins complexe et aurait sans doute gagné à posséder 3 degrés de plus mais demeure excellente. La finale, de très bon goût, est toutefois décevante de par sa (relative) brièveté.
