Laphroaig Cask Strength 10 Year Old

Amber coloured with a strong aroma of peaty smoke rich in phenols, almost like macadam. The flavours are not much different with lots of attack not surprisingly, but the peat smoke is difficult to get past. A dash of water brings out some sweetness and a little hot spice (ginger?) toning down the phenols a bit at the same time. The finish is dominated by the same smoky haze with maybe some sweeter malt and some soft peat. Great stuff if you like peat smoke to the exclusion of all else. I should add this is not a recent bottling and may not represent current CS Laphroaig.
