- Description
- A 2001 Laphroaig aged over 20 years in a single sherry butt and bottled by La Maison du Whisky in 2021, this expression balances the distillery's assertive peat with stone fruit, citrus, and spiced chocolate from the wood. The long maturation has married smoke and sweetness into a cohesive whole, where peat smoke lingers through a finish of sea salt and liquorice. For experienced palates seeking aged Islay complexity.
