Laphroaig 16 Year Old

Originally released in 2015 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the distillery, it was so well-received that they decided to release more! This 16-year-old has spent its life in ex-bourbon barrels, allowing for the whisky’s smoky profile to soften over the years, rounded off by the vanilla notes from the American Oak. It is bottled at 48% abv without chill filtration or added colouring. A limited release and slightly mellower version of the iconic Islay single malt from Laphroaig.

There are rich leather aromas with oaky spices, maple syrup and roasted chestnuts. The taste is honey and treacle sweet with that classic Laphroaig character of creosote and salted seaweed. Plenty of smoky notes and a hint of medicinal character. A lovely example of an Islay dram!
