Laphroaig 1990-2000 Moon Import 'In The Pink' 46%

A well-balanced, watered-down Laphroaig at its drinking peak. Laphroaig LAPHROAIG 1990-2000 MOON IMPORT In The Pink #11684 46% one of 320 bottles The aroma is elegant and light, with fresh grapefruit, freshly milled wheat flour, slightly damp hay, seafood powder, and a sharp, strong peatiness. When drunk, it remains elegant with a slightly condensed texture that lingers on the tongue, featuring a refined syrup-like sweetness, citrus acidity, malty and seafood umami, and a strong peatiness with a pleasant aftertaste. 【Very Good】 This is a Laphroaig 1990 bottling by Moon Import in 2000, cut with water to 46% ABV and aged for approximately 10 years. Although the maturation period was short, and at bottling it might have shown some roughness or youthfulness despite the water addition, today it exhibits a refined fruitiness and aged characteristics, with a smooth maltiness, crispness, peat, and a harmonious integration of these elements. A certain elegance was evident, with a rich umami that lingers on the tongue. It left a stronger impression than previous tastings, and I believe this bottler's Laphroaig has reached its ideal drinking moment through the water addition and aging process.
