- Description
- Laphroaig's peppery peat and maritime intensity from 17 years in refill oak gain unexpected elegance from a final passage through an ex-Pedro Ximénez cask. Dark raisin, fig, and molasses notes from the fortified wine sweeten the medicinal edge while preserving the distillery's bold character. A sophisticated take on Islay peat for those who enjoy sherry's softening influence without losing definition.
