- Description
- A 2015 vintage Laphroaig matured in first-fill oak and bottled at 52% ABV, this Islay classic balances the distillery's unmistakable peat with fruit-forward notes refined by careful cask selection. The smoke is substantial but not overwhelming, allowing layers of brine, heather, and subtle citrus to emerge alongside the expected maritime and medicinal character. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, with a long finish that doesn't overpower. For those who want Laphroaig's peat signature tempered with complexity.
