Laphroaig 25 year old, 51.4%

The nose brims with honey, vanilla, lemon drizzle cake, honeydew, and cereal, balanced with iodine, brine, green herbaceous notes, peppery extra virgin olive oil, and grilled smoked bacon rinds. Sweet vanilla, white chocolate, banana, pear, and melon flavors collide with aniseed, licorice, sea salt, fig, salted caramel, taffy, smoked butter, and a gentle oakiness commensurate with its maturity. Dry finish of smoked fish, oak, and lengthy smoke.
