Laphroaig 16 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) 70cl

Those Boutique-y Whisky folk selected a magnificently smoky and smouldering single malt from Laphroaig here, bottled up in a nice big 700ml bottle to join the Label Editions collection. It's a vatting of 16-year-old single malt matured in refill hogsheads and then treated to a finish in an oloroso sherry barrique for generous layers of creamy malt and pungent peat, backed by earthy nuts, floral tea, and zesty notes of salted lemons.

A release of 197 bottles.

That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottles limited edition whiskies from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blends, all adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels. The brand won Spirits Bottler of the Year at the 2023 Spirits Business Awards, and Blender of the Year went to Sam Simmons, captain of the Boutique-y clan who oversees every one of these releases.
