12 YEAR OLD

70cl · 46% ABV

Laphroaig 12 Year Old Single Malt is a rich and distinctive Scotch whisky crafted on the wild shores of Islay, celebrated for its powerful smoky character and coastal influence. Matured in carefully selected American oak barrels, this expression adds a unique depth and complexity to Laphroaig’s iconic peated style, delivering a beautifully balanced and memorable dram.

NOSE:

Sea salt, seaweed, stewed green apple and heather honey with a slight rhubarb tang. Behind this can be found pleasing and mellow notes of vanilla, crusty pastry, hazelnut, dried orange peel, hints of ginger, lemongrass, and intermingling through it all are phenolic, tarry peat embers.

PALATE:

Carbolic soap intertwined with salt encrusted seaweed, smouldering campfires, blackcurrant, hints of stone fruit, thyme, liquorice root, aniseed and herbal thyme.

FINISH:

Sweet and powerful, with savoury notes leading to iodine and oily mackerel complexity.

From Islay to the world, the 12-Year-Old from Laphroaig is created for curious characters. It is a whisky for free spirits who aren’t content to sit still, and who won’t rest until they’ve tasted the rewards of a life well travelled. For those not content to stick with what they know, this is an outstanding Islay single malt to begin a new journey — a tantalising taste of its wind-swept home.

With no chill-filtration or added colour, this is the real deal done the Laphroaig way: complete with its unmistakably smoky style, and with a twist that takes things beyond the ordinary. Matured in ex-bourbon American oak barrels, carefully selected for the task, it offers a flavour that is as fresh as it is classic. This 12-Year-Old single malt presents a tasting profile for the curious, grounded in the traditions and character refined over generations on Islay. It begins on a rugged stretch of coastline — where it goes from there is entirely up to the drinker.
