Color		Chestnutoloroso sherry
Nose	Le profil est très proche de celui du 30yo. Des fruits exotiques, mais plus sur la mangue que sur la banane, du sherry (abricots secs, chocolat) de l'iode et de la tourbe. Une belle tourbe d'ailleurs, presque minérale avec des notes de pierre à fusil. Des fruits rouges aussi (cerises griottes acidulées). Les arômes sont superbement fondus, inextricablement mêlés les uns aux autres. L'ensemble est toutefois un brin plus rugueux et boisé (mais un boisé agréable), moins gourmand que le 30yo OB, plus frais aussi avec une très légère note mentholée.
Taste	Paf, prends ça dans ta face ! Plus puissant que le 30yo, c'est gras à n'en plus pouvoir. Manque de puissance ? Ca n'est pas un CS, mais difficile de faire mieux à 43%. La tourbe est bien là, mais j'ai du mal à faire le tri des arômes. Plus marin (sel, iode) et un peu moins fruité (oranges amères et confites) que le 30yo, plus rugueux encore une fois. Peut-être moins complexe mais incontestablement plus jouissif.
Finish	Fruits secs, tourbe et cacao, un peu minérale aussi (poussière). Plus longue que celle du 30yo.
Comments	Encore un magnifique Laphroaig. Si le nez est peut-être un cran au-dessous de celui du 30yo, la bouche est divine, et la finale à l'avenant.
