Produced at the Laphroaig Distillery on the southern coast of Islay, this whisky is crafted using traditional floor malting techniques and water drawn from the Kilbride Stream. The spirit matures for a full decade in ex-bourbon barrels, which impart vanilla and oak complexity while allowing the distillery’s trademark peat smoke to shine through. Laphroaig’s distinctive character comes from malted barley dried over peat fires sourced directly from the distillery’s own moss, ensuring consistency and depth in every bottle.

Nose: Opens with a powerful wave of peat smoke, medicinal iodine, and seaweed brine, followed by hints of vanilla sweetness, lemon zest, and a touch of black pepper.

Palate: Full-bodied and oily in texture, delivering layers of smoky peat, charred oak, and salted caramel, balanced by notes of dark chocolate, earthy malt, and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of honey and dried fruit.

Finish: Long, warming, and deeply smoky, with lingering notes of ash, sea salt, and a faint sweetness that carries the maritime character through to the very end.
