Laphroaig 25yo & 18yo Available at The Whisky Shop – Scotch Whisky News
Laphroaig 25 Year Old is a wonderful marriage of sherried, oaky flavours from the European Oloroso Sherry Casks and the soft, velvet, rich flavours from the ex-American Bourbon Barrels. The Oloroso Sherry Casks and ex-American Bourbon Barrels were filled with newly distilled Laphroaig spirit from day one. Bottled at natural cask strength, this whisky is made even smoother by its long maturation of 25 years.
The Laphroaig 18 year old is made in small quantities each year and enjoyed by only a small amount of whisky lovers. A soft, sweet and spicy Islay peat smoke greets you when you open your first bottle. The first taste is an oak sweetness, from 18 years in the barrel. A faint hint of the sea can be detected, testimony to its time maturing on the remote island of Islay. Bottled at 48% abv, in limited quantities every year.
To celebrate the distillery’s 200th anniversary, Laphroaig are asking you to share your opinion about the whisky. The best 200 will be displayed forever at the distillery and the very best will win a trip to “Laphroaig Live” later this year.
