- Description
- Distilled at Laphroaig in 1990 and matured for 32 years, this Hunter Laing bottling from the Old & Rare Coronation series represents three decades of evolution in oak, with only 456 cask-strength bottles released in 2023. Extreme age has mellowed the distillery's peat smoke into something more sophisticated and layered, though Laphroaig's maritime character remains unmistakable. The texture would be rich and oily, with the finish extended and contemplative. A rare opportunity to experience how Laphroaig's intense spirit transforms across three decades in wood.
