This extraordinary single malt has been meticulously matured for a full 25 years, resulting in a whisky that is truly unparalleled in its depth and complexity.
The secret behind the exceptional flavor of this whisky lies in its unique maturation process. Over the years, it has been carefully aged in both bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks, allowing it to absorb the rich flavors and aromas of these premium wood types. The result is a whisky that balances sweet vanilla and wood spice with the distinctive smoky notes that Laphroaig is renowned for.
Tasting Note by Laphroaig:
Nose: Sweet vanilla and wood spice, smoke and TCP, though restrained, some smoked bacon, with underlying dried fruit added to the mix.
Palate: Very creamy and rich, with a full texture, peppery, spicy, iodine, saline and smokiness. There's also a little green apple fruit.
Finish: Very long and layered, waves of rich smoke and a peppery conclusion.
