Laphroaig Willem Dafoe, 53.7%

Finished in oloroso casks, Dafoe’s dram evokes strong memories of a seaside summer cookout, with grill smoke, brisket, oyster shells, and sea salt, alongside baked berries, torched brown sugar, caramel, and a hint of marmalade on the nose. The palate is rich with burnt ends, pork belly, espresso, tiramisu, Whoppers, and more mouthwatering smoke. These flavors linger on the long finish, which gracefully fades out on a very pleasant mesquite barbecue flavor.
