- Description
- Laphroaig's 2017 cask strength release, batch #9, presents the distillery's signature medicinal and maritime peat at full intensity and higher proof than the standard 10-year-old. At 58.1%, this bottling amplifies the iodine-soaked character that defines Islay's most committed expressions, with layers of tar, brine, and smoke that demand attention. The texture is viscous and warming, with a persistent finish that lingers long after the glass is empty. A benchmark for peat lovers seeking uncompromised, distillery-bottled Laphroaig from a particularly sought-after batch.
