Laphroaig - Single Islay Malt Whisky - Aged 15 years - 43% vol

The nose on the 15 year old was not nearly as powerful as the 10 year old. There was more of a paint thinners aroma than iodine, and it seemed a lot milder. The initial taste was done neat, followed by a second taste after adding a drop of Scottish Highland mineral water. What a difference! The water really opened up the aroma and taste of the malt, making it a lot more sweeter and palatable. However, it does not rate as good as the 10 year old, especially on a back to back comparison.
