- Description
- Laphroaig's 1998 vintage, matured for 25 years in a single bourbon barrel and bottled at cask strength by Signatory, stands as a testament to the distillery's enduring peat character. A quarter-century in oak mellows Islay's signature medicinal smoke while preserving briny depth and developing rich vanilla undertones. Only 171 bottles were released in 2024, making this a prized find for peated whisky collectors seeking age and authenticity.
