nose Vanilla with smoke, both very intense, behind milder American oak, really sweet, in beginnings lemon, charcoal, very round
taste Smoke, clear white oak notes, granulated sugar, Meditionsin, medicine on sugar cubes, Cini Minis, neat vanilla, vanilla sugar, could be a bit fuller, for 48% vol a bit thin / Brennereicharakter-lastig, from the barrel should come after 18 years more
leaving Medium-long, with smoke, oak, coal and caramel fuller, more complex, and denser than the "normal" 10's, but it lacks a bit of that Phenolic sweetness, which is so "typical Laphraoig", the nose is great with intense vanilla and smoke, but in the mouth for 18 years something " thin".
