Description
This 1970s bottling of Laphroaig 10-year-old represents a pivotal era in the distillery's history, when legendary bottlings defined the standard for Islay single malt. The decades since distillation have added oxidative complexity and softened the spirit's edges, whilst preserving the characteristic peat and maritime character that made early Laphroaig famous. At 40% ABV and likely showing some bottle variation due to age, this dram is a historical artifact as much as a whisky. A rare chance to experience how Laphroaig aged during scotch whisky's most storied period.
