Single Malt
Scotland
1 May 2015
Laphroaig's 200th anniversary celebrations built up to this extraordinary bottling of rare single malt Scotch whisky from Islay all through 2015. Just 5,880 bottles of this exclusively first-fill oloroso sherry cask matured 32-year-old Laphroaig were filled.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Lots of sticking plasters (especially noticeable in this bottling) up front with muscovado and a rich cherry bakewell spine.
Very svelte mouthfeel, well integrated smoke mingles with prominent cocoa, just a touch of seaweed giving this heavily Sherried malt a sense of place and plenty of cinnamon spice.
Very long, initial dark Christmas cake with coal ash coming through.

£1,500.00I’d highly recommend this Laphroaig. Full of wonderful smokey goodness in the correct balance. Lovely sherry flavours, dried fruits, black currents with a delicious finish. This is an all time classic Laphroaig
Normally the smoke fades a lot in old Laphroaigs this one has a perfect sherry smoke combination. I was very lucky indeed to try a dram.
If you can find one, buy it.
Best thing tastes too good
