A 1990s bottle of Laphroaig's now discontinued 15-year-old single malt. A rather rare find these days, this would make a good addition to an Islay whisky collection.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
A heavily peated nose of tar, iodine and notes of creosote. Some fruit gives way to delicate whirls of smoke, very full in body. The palate is, at first, smoky and medicinal, well-rounded and rich, but still soft. Sweetness creeps onto the fore followed by a belt of peat and a touch of malt. The finish is very well-balanced and smoky
There is perhaps no dram that better typifies the distiller's art in Scottish whisky than Laphroaig 15. I've had rarer, older, and select single casks. Laphroaig 15 stands up to anything that's been in my glass. Simply the best.
One of the best I never tried. Peated, but with balance, this older version is better than the 10 years old.
