Description
The Single Malts of Scotland Laphroaig Director’s Special 22 Year Old Single Malt

TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Initially, heapings of spiced plum chutney and blackberry compote.
This is accented by a touch of smoke from bonfire embers and
plenty of sticky, smoked chipotle glaze. Lastly, vanilla-infused
tobacco leaves appear.
PALATE
Crunchy maple syrup brittle coats the palate, followed immediately
by a spoon of date conserve. Steaming peppermint tea arrives,
served with crumbly ginger snaps. This eases on to a glass of
decadent cherry wine and a slice of spongy pain d’épices.
FINISH
Sooty smoke is at its most intense on the finish, mingling with
smoked trout blinis. Sea-salted caramel and earthy brown soda
bread linger to the end.
