Description
This exceptional single malt is an exciting rarity that we can’t wait to share with you – it’s a dedicated Laphroaig bottling created exclusively for The Whisky Shop! Crafted with our customers firmly in mind, and found nowhere else in the world, it represents a unique collaboration with one of Islay’s most iconic distilleries and stands proudly as a true collector’s piece.
Drawn and fully matured in Madeira Hogshead cask #1328, the liquid which was distilled in 2013 at 51.6% ABV, is limited to just 318 bottles!
The nose opens with the bold medicinal peat smoke that is so characteristically Laphroaig, before easing into a sweeter space full of dried figs, stewed berries and sweet pipe tobacco. The palate is rich and oily, where Laphroaig’s hallmark iodine and bonfire smoke meet the warming sweetness of the Madeira cask, revealing dark honey, clove and baked apple in full, rounded layers. The finish is long, leaving glowing peat embers softened by a delicate sea-spray note.
