- Description
- This 1977 Laphroaig, bottled at 43% ABV in spring 1995, represents the distillery at a critical moment in Islay whisky history. After nearly 18 years of aging, the spirit retains Laphroaig's iconic peat and maritime character while developing softer, honeyed undertones from extended wood contact. The rarity and reputation of this bottling reflect both its scarcity and the quality of Laphroaig stock from that vintage era. A collector's bottle for those tracing the distillery's evolution across decades.
