Laphroaig 1980 / 27 Year Old / Sherry Cask Islay Whisky

A vatting of five Oloroso casks from 1980, bottled at cask strength (57.4%) in the distillery's later releases, this expression divides opinion as sharply as the core range. Rich sherry notes of dried fruit and wood spice meld with the distillery's peat and marine character, creating tension rather than harmony. Winner of Malt Maniacs Awards 2007, it rewards adventurous drinkers willing to embrace the contradictions between sherry sweetness and Islay smoke.
