Gal Granov (85)

Nose: Starts quite sweet and creamy, with Scottish Tablet, caramel , vanilla fudge, and some white pepper to balance it. There’s also a nice salty Caramel touch, with the Laphraoig smokiness. charcoal, and maybe tar, but don’t expect a lot of medicinal touches on this one.. It’s quite mild peat wise , but still packs enough peatiness.

Palate: Good mouthful all in all on this one, with an initial peppery attack, moving to old style caramel candy , vanilla fudge, sweet smoke, salt and maybe a bit of sea spray , tar and soot, and quite a bit of warm wood smoke.

Finish: Sweet smoke, toasted oak, pepper, and more Tablet.

Conclusion:

All in all this is quite enjoyable, but a bit too rounded and sweet for me. Not one of the best Cairdeas in recent years, although very easy drinking stuff, if you can call any Laphraoig an ‘easy drinking’ whisky. If you’re a fan of the QC, and would not mind an extra sweetness , and a fuller mouthfeel, you’re in luck this year.
