Whisky review : Laphroaig cairdeas ''Origin'', bottled @ 51.2%

Whisky review : Laphroaig cairdeas ''Origin'', bottled @ 51.2%

-NAS
-Cask strength
-Un-chill filtering
-Between 13 and 21 yo apprently
-bottled 50-50 with new spirit matured 7y in Quarter casks. 

Colour: pale gold, medium bodied, medium legs.

Nose: Classic Laphroaig, ether, peat, medicinal oil, white ashes after a fire, very well seated in the glass, creamy and sweet notes, touches of fruits

Mouth: mix of soft ether and peat, juicy peat, with fruits notes. More caramel then the usual and some spices as well. However, it seemed to be flawed as the massive ABV tries to hide the low arrival. It develops well in the mouth after, yet the initial impact is a tad off.

Finish: ether, light sweet peat with ashes, lots of white ashes.

A- for taste. It's a good Lap for sure. However, flaws are preventing greatness here.
B for the price. 100$ is actually reasonable if not on a budget.
B+ for the presentation. I'm use to the white tubing...the green one looks just weird.
