Bottle 198/240. Many elements of the base beer come through in this Laphroig barrel-aged version, showing similarities with my review from a year or so ago. Highly carbonated and volatile on opening. Thin mouthfeel that doesn’t compliment the flavour profile. The aroma is of earthy peaty single malt. Smoke flavours and some light creaminess comes through however they’re overshadowed by the huge hit of Laphroig that punches you in the face from the very first sip. If you’re a single malt fan you would absolutely love this. It took a while to grow on me as it’s so peaty and strong in flavour, but I got there in the end...
