- Description
- James Eadie's independent bottling presents a 2016-distilled Laphroaig matured for a full decade in refill barrels—a restrained approach that lets the distillery's peat signature emerge without cask dominance. This Islay expression delivers the classic Laphroaig identity: smoke, brine, and maritime intensity with enough time in wood for smoothness. Limited to 998 bottles from this 2026 release, it suits peat enthusiasts who appreciate refinement over raw power.
