- Description
- Laphroaig's 27-year-old combines refill quarter casks and first-fill bourbon barrels in a cask-strength (41.7%) bottling that deepens the distillery's classic Islay identity—maritime peat, medicinal smoke, and persistent brine—over nearly three decades. This 2017 release captures how extended maturation adds complexity and depth to an already distinctive spirit.
