Bottled in 2015 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the distillery     First Fill Olorso Sherry Cask

5,880 Bottles

Nose of sweet peat, BBQ and campfire smoke, cotton candy, soy sauce, hints of Twizzlers. Very nice palate... like that's exactly what I think, "Very Nice." Delivers on what you'd kind of expect from the palate, though a bit of an atypical Laphroaig, lacking many of the medicinal aspects. Packs a nice kick of flavor, without being a full kick in the crotch. Finish continues the theme, with the BBQ and campfire smoke returning after a few moments for a tasty encore.

Great nose of peat and rich sherry. The palate has dry peat with a bit of a soapy note and there's a long, peaty finish. The sherry from the nose isn't readily apprent on the palate but it's slightly noticeable on the finish. 

This is a very nice Laphroaig.  

n: Roasted pecans and nutmeg.  An old room with antique furniture.  (like visiting a house museum from the 1700s.)  Great nose (unless you hate history)

p:  A tad astringent, as if the cask gave the spirit some off notes.  The peat mostly exerts itself in the saltiness as the wood overshadows it.  It's a bit like grinding old furniture to make coffee but not getting to add sugar.  The finish is long and you may be exhaling oak for 15 minutes.
