Laphroaig Elements L2.0 – 70cl 59.6%

Description

This second release of Elements really got Distillery Manager Barry MacAffer excited. The extended fermentation of up to 115 hours introduced some extra tropical fruit notes which perfectly balanced with the soft smokiness of the peat. Every flavour is big and bold with its own place, each one complementing the other.

Tasting notes:
Colour: Bold, pale gold

Nose: Fruity and subtly coastal. Stewed apples, vanilla custard and zesty orange peel with subtle peaty notes.

Palate: Fruity, sweet and salty. Green apples and runny honey with cream soda and soft peatiness of a smouldering bonfire and smoked seafood.

Finish: Sweet with an increasingly warming smokiness to finish.
