St. Pauli gave this whisky 86 points
Color
Burnished
Nose
A combination of smoke (peat, ash) and salt (iodine), a tad of oil (motor oil), but also some vanilla and apple can be detected
Taste
Full-bodied smoky and salty flavors, but also some drying notes from the oak and barley.
Finish
Quite long and lingering, leaving the smokiness of the peat (and some ash) on the foreground. The vanilla returns, a bit of fruit can also be detected.
Comments
The basic dram of the Laphroaig family is solid as a rock! It is not extremely heavy on the nose, but the taste and the finish give you more than you might expect. The combination of the drying oak and the full-bodied peat and salt gives this bottle the essential edge.

Color
Yellow gold
Nose
The peat is subtle, much less than I expected. There's a nice gentle salty breeze in the background, and then some sweetness of vanilla, fresh fruits and malt.
Taste
Heavier peat now, and a big medicinal note. Reminds me of gauze, iodine infused bandage I used to put on scrapes. Drying oak now as well, vanilla sweetness and the fruits have been drawn to the background now. Licorice.
Finish
Lingering smoke, licorice, vanilla sweetness, dried grass, soft fruit. Dries out the gums.
Comments
As Islay as in Islay malt can get. A perfect example of a heavy, smoky and peaty malt if you want someone to try. Not for every day, but if you're in the mood...lovely.

This 10 year old malt epitomizes the taste of Islay; rich, smoky and peaty. It is the most distinctive of all malts, called `the ultimate single Islay malt.

I don`t think I`d have disliked the rather watery and tasteless Jura 10 year old so much if I hadn`t of ever tried this.
Now I make sure my shelf is never empty of this stuff, the one whisky that never lets you down.

Nice smoky smell, slightly phenolic. Peaty taste, then some medicinal notes and leather. Spices, sea, some tannins and pepper. Good but not great, i prefer the smoother, more rounded Caol Ila or Lagavulin. Has the potential to become great with more age though.

Was one of the strongest whiskey`s I have in the collection from Islay.
This bottle was one of the first in my collection and man did I not like
it. I put it on the shelf and left for about a year until I tried I few
more from the spectrum of Regions out there. Then after some time and
getting my palate more prepared, I approached it again and know find it
very nice.

Remember it\'s maturity that makes whisky great! That\'s why I Love The Glenrothes!

The peaty sweetness combined with a pleasant smoke and the salty sea notes, and the long warm finish. We hear too much bad roumers of this bottle. The sea and the peat moss with a severe sweetness, enriched peated as it writes in the book.

Color
Old gold
Nose
Expressif, et plus civilisé que des versions plus anciennes (disons qu'il y a 10 ans).De la tourbe certes, ce camphre qui est un des marqueurs de ces 10yo, de l'orge maltée fumée, de l'iode, mais aussi des notes vanillées plus douces ainsi que des touches de banane artificielle (bonbons haribo). Très chouette.
Taste
Elle manque un peu de corps et de puissance, mais elle est bien équilibrée. Toujours de la tourbe, mais plus terreuse qu'au nez, et des notes très médicinales (pastilles pour la toux) contrebalancées par une douceur vanillée.
Finish
De longueur moyenne, sur une belle amertume iodée et le retour des notes de banane avant que la cendre ne recouvre tout. Le goût de cendre reste par contre très longtemps àl'arrière du palais.
Comments
Un dram àl'excellent rapport q/p.
