Laphroaig Thompson Bros 8 Year Old, Refill Barrel Cask, 2017, Thompson Bros, 57.1%

The smoke is clearly a major part of this whisky, with peat, iodine and tar on the nose and lingering smoke through the finish. Brown sugar and candied lemon add some balance, so it is not only about the smoky, briny side.
