LAPHROAIG 70CL 40% islay in the neck bottled around 1990/2000

Colour: gold. Nose:  this is initially more a combination of coastal elements, iodine and things like sandalwood and beached seaweed. However, give it a little space to breathe and you get these wonderfully textured and layered tropical fruits. A syrupy embarrassment of guavas, pineapple, lemon jelly, mango and passion fruit. Beyond that you also get many other complexities such as chalk, clay, dried banana and a kind of heathery, fragrant peat smoke. The extra alcohol really does elevate the impression of texture, weight and the depth and concentration of aroma. Mouth:  Crushed seashells, rowan jelly, iodine, ointments, medical tinctures, brine, sea air, lemon balm, pineapple syrup, orange bitters, cough medicine, lime zest, red chilli and a kind of earthy, sooty peat profile. Not as overtly tropical on the palate as on the nose but these kinds of fruit jelly textures and flavours remain and the overall punchiness, poise and power are quite immense. Finish: long and full of syrupy peat, salted liquorice, ointments, medicines, tar, herbal liqueurs, mouthwash and saline mineral aspects.
