From The Distillery

The 2018 entry in Laphroaig’s yearly limited edition series is one of the distillery’s oldest releases yet – a 28-year-old whisky. It’s a carefully selected mixture of casks, bringing together quarter casks, ex-bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry butts. These casks were then married together in sherry casks before being bottled at cask strength. It’s picked up a reputation as being the best yet in the series, combining the distillery’s medicinal smoke character with the fruitiness that many of its older bottles show.

Colour: Coppery Gold.
Nose: Smoky, grilled dates drizzled in Manuka honey, speckled with dry thyme and rosemary, chased by hints of liquorice and herbal Isaly heather.
Palate: The taste is sweet pear and honey complemented by salted toffee and black pepper, giving way to a touch of iodine and seaweed reminiscent of Isaly.
Finish: Dried spices, cedar and complex lingering peat.
