This stunning 2018 Edition Laphroaig 25 Year Old was aged for at least 25 years in second-fill oloroso sherry cask and ex-bourbon barrels. The result is an elegant dram that offers notes of subtle peat and warming heat, rather than a burning fire, while maintaining the unmistakably classic Laphroaig notes of medicinal sea spray and oil.
Here, the sherry casks provide subtle notes of stone fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, citrus rind, sour cherries and old oak, while the bourbon barrels provide rich vanilla flavours, toffee, peaches and sweet cake.
