- Description
- Lp12, a marriage of refill and ex-sherry hogsheads distilled in 2014 and aged at least six years, balances Laphroaig's smoky intensity with dried fruit sweetness and surprising savoury depth. The nose offers burnt toffee and tobacco smoke alongside medicinal iodine, while the palate delivers honey-roast parsnips, crispy bacon, dried figs, and acrid bonfire smoke in surprising succession. At 54.7% ABV, this represents a more approachable entry point to Laphroaig's character, suited to those discovering the distillery's range or seeking balance between smoke and sweetness.
