- Description
- Released in March 2016, this Islay single malt from Laphroaig offers uncut character at 59.2% ABV from its cask strength bottling. The 10-year maturation in ex-bourbon casks preserves Laphroaig's signature soft peat smoke alongside cured meat and bonfire notes, with orchard fruits adding subtle counterpoint. Essential for peat lovers who want the distillery's full maritime and medicinal character without dilution.
