TASTING NOTES - LAPHROAIG FOUR OAKS

Nose

At the first approach, the nose perceives aromas of peat, followed by medicinal herbs and a touch of vanilla. Subsequently there are also hints of very intense wood, followed by fruity notes.

Palate

On the palate it is expressed with notes of wood and vanilla, together with woody spices in the background. The fruits are also perceptible, even if not particularly structured. The peaty component is present, but it is not the protagonist.

Finish

Persistence is medium. The finish is focused on woody spices and hints of fruit, not without the presence of subtle peaty notes.

Overall, the Laphroaig Four Oaks is a decent Scotch whiskey, showing good harmony and excellent balance. However, it lacks in terms of structure and depth, which turn out to be the least performing characteristics.
