Nose of briny, smokey peat that's on the medicinal side (burnt rubber). Walnut, toffee, black pepper, and perhaps a hint of raisin.

Rich, intense palate of malt, toffee, roasted almond, sea shell, and the classic medicinal, smokey Laphroaig finish. Mixed in the peaty finish is a hint of bacon, plum, and pepper.

Very much Laphroaig but more rounded and with more rich, nutty notes than the 10. Not that fruity which I would expect from the sherry finish, but still delicious. — 6 years ago

Something else. Peated high high. Comparable to the Laphroaig Quarter Cask. I'm on a boat — 8 years ago

9.1

Bright golden color. Subtle peat on the nose with iodine/brine. Some oak. Bright sweetness as it hits the tongue which quickly moves towards saltiness and slight peat. The alcohol takes over with a warming and slight burning sensation as it washes down. The finish is long and warming with the smokiness of the peat taking over. Balanced yet interesting. — 8 years ago

Pale straw in color. Wet newspaper, cement, iodine, charcoal, peat, barley, sherry, rubber hose, and even dew on a wet golf course. Hot mouthfeel, but very well balanced. Long finish! Islay to the next level! — 10 years ago

Agree with the reviewer Madeleine. Spicy and very, very smoky. Almost reminds me of the whiskey Laphroaig. — 7 years ago

Highland Streaker - grouse whiskey base but what makes it is the Laphroaig spritz. Really good. — 8 years ago

9.3

Cask strength from Laphroaig, menthol nose which I guess gives it it's name along with some pine. The taste is of pine resin, peat and perhaps some sweet honey. A very complex malt and not an everyday easy drinking whiskey but it is enjoyable and interesting! — 9 years ago

Had this bottle for a long time already. And thought it to be a basic peaty Islay. But it is a very fine rounded, bit sweet and not too agressive. Better get a new one. — 7 years ago

Very peaty! I would have guessed, if I were blindfolded, that it was a Laphroaig. — 7 years ago
