Crafted with unwavering dedication and expertise, this exceptional spirit has spent 16 years maturing exclusively in ex-bourbon barrels, resulting in a flavor profile that is truly extraordinary.
Since its inception in 1815, Laphroaig has been entrusted to the hands of visionary distillery managers who have passed down their knowledge and passion for the craft. From Ian Hunter to John Campbell, each guardian has made their mark on the distillery, while cherishing the distinctive qualities that make Laphroaig the whisky it is today.
Tasting Note by Laphroaig:
Nose: The nose initially presents the inviting aromas of roasted nuts and smoldering peat, gradually revealing the enticing scent of maple syrup drizzled over pancakes and the comforting essence of vanilla pod.
Palate: The rich peat flavors persist, accompanied by a subtle hint of iodine. A delicate floral note emerges, accompanied by the freshness of citrus and the sweetness of honeyed barley.
Finish: The finish imparts a coastal salinity, reminiscent of the sea breeze, along with the lingering presence of the last dying embers of a bonfire.
