- Description
- This 27-year-old Islay single malt spent its entire life in a single bourbon cask, yielding just 210 bottles when opened in 2024. Laphroaig's signature maritime peat and medicinal character would have developed considerable depth and integration over nearly three decades, creating a rare window into the distillery's older character. For collectors seeking well-aged Islay complexity from a closed-book single cask.
