LAPHROAIG 2005 – AGED 20 YEARS
SINGLE CASK (PART SHERRY MATURED)
CASK STRENGTH 58.9%
A rare independently bottled Laphroaig 2005! This expression balances the distillery’s unmistakable maritime peat with the depth of long aging. Finished in a sherry butt, it layers classic iodine, sea spray, and smouldering smoke with richer notes of dried fruit, polished oak, and dark spice.
Bottled at 20 years old, it offers a more contemplative take on Islay’s bold character — where medicinal intensity meets elegant sweetness with a warming finish.
A real treat for the Laphroaig fans!
