06/10/11 Laphroaig SMWS 29.81

A cold, wet, miserable Scottish night, wood-burning stove roaring merrily and a 16yo cask of Laphroaig. Nice.

Herbal and strongly perfumed and intensely smoky. Soap, sea air, disinfectant, lime zest.

Much lighter bodied than I expected, a little odd actually, it’s so floral that I find it a bit overpowering.

Disappointing. In fact, I have to say that I’m not enjoying it at all.

Which means…

1/5.

Shocking I know. The lowest score I’ve given to an SMWS bottle so far.
