Laphroaig Quarter Cask

I am currently finishing my 3rd bottle of this glorious series of Laphroaig distillate. Many before have already explained the origin and defintion behind the "quarter cask" entitlement, which is quite obvious to the journeyed whisky afficionado. On the nose we have a golden syrup tangy/sweet peat burst, which is quite well measured considering the flavour lurking behind. The nose also gives away the classic Laphroaig annotations, TCP, plasters, salt/peat and a bit of rubber. The manifestations on the nose become even clearer on the palate as syrupy vanilla led sweetness hits you with a potent peppery arrival (white pepper mainly) with a the Peat making a big (but measured) intro. It ensues on iodine, TCP, celeri, rubber again, and then the pepper and peat comes back with a bit of the initial sweetnes with it. Like the title says: A modern Classic, one of the best from Islay currently.
