Laphroaig 15 Returns
Laphroaig’s much-missed 15 Year Old expression returns as an official bottling for the first time in over a decade and as a permanent part of their range, too.
Aged in American oak bourbon barrels and bottled at 46% without chill-filtering, this is as characterful as you would hope for from Laphroaig. Citrus, hay, vanilla and toffee sit alongside big peaty, oily and briny notes on the nose.
The palate has a creaminess that provides a platform for all of those classic Laphroaig markers, while providing a rounder, fuller experience than the 10-year-old.
