- Description
- Batch 012 (February 2020) at 60.1% showcases Laphroaig's 10-year bourbon-matured spirit at its most concentrated. Peat smoke and cedar dominate, interwoven with toffee, roasted coffee, and a hint of maritime salt, while underlying notes of honey and vanilla prevent the spirit from becoming one-dimensional. The texture is thick and coating with a long, warming finish. A powerful expression for seasoned peat drinkers seeking complexity beyond smoke.
