Eighteen years of Islay maturation softens Laphroaig’s famously fierce character into something altogether more considered without ever letting you forget where it came from. The peat smoke is still present, now threaded with dark chocolate, dried fruit, gentle oak spice and a coastal salinity that lingers long into the finish. One of the most elegant expressions the distillery produces. Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky. 70cl.
