Description
This rare 11-year-old single malt, distilled at Laphroaig in 2014, hails from the storied Isle of Islay and showcases the distillery’s distinctive balance of sweet, salty maritime character and deeply phenolic smoke. Matured in a single refill sherry hogshead (Cask 211), it yielded just 338 bottles at a robust natural strength of 64.9% abv. An unchillfiltered, naturally coloured expression full of character.
Expect a nose of yellow plum, gooseberry and toasted oats, enriched by cedar wood and freshly scorched pine needles. On the palate, charred yellow peppers intertwine with savoury spice and cigar smoke, brightened by a lift of fresh lemon citrus. The finish is refined and lingering, recalling the embers of a well-fired sherry cask.
