- Description
- Laphroaig's 36-year-old Archive Collection reveals the distillery's often-overlooked fruity dimension through tropical notes of mango and citrus balanced against signature medicinal smoke. Matured in first-fill bourbon casks and finished in refill oloroso sherry, the spirit achieves remarkable elegance: softened peat integrates with liquorice, cedar, toffee, and honeycomb into a layered whole. At 40.2% ABV, the extended aging has developed supple texture and refined finish. A retrospective expression for experienced Laphroaig drinkers seeking depth beyond smoke.
