Laphroaig 16 Year Old Whisky

Laphroaig 16 year old whisky is a limited release of the iconic Islay single malt, aged in ex-bourbon barrels.

• Aromas of toasted nuts and smouldering peat greet the senses
• Gradually unfolding into the delightful scents of maple syrup drizzled over pancakes and the essence of vanilla pods
• The palate remains peat-rich, complemented by a subtle hint of iodine, which then gives way to a delicate floral undertone. Fresh notes of citrus zest intermingle with the sweetness of honeyed barley, creating a harmonious flavour profile
• The finish is of coastal salinity, reminiscent of ocean breezes
• Lingering embers of a beachside bonfire, leaving a memorable impression that lingers on the palate

Laphroaig's whisky making tradition has been passed down by distillery managers since the first drop rolled off the still in 1815. Ian Hunter, Bessie Williamson, John MacDougal, Denise Nicole, Iain Henderson and the incumbent John Campbell were all protective custodians of the art of Laphroaig.

Each brought their own influence, of course, but all respected the unique elements that make Laphroaig the whisky it is. The Kilbride Stream, hand-cut peat, floor malted barley, cold-smoking kilns, mash tuns, copper alchemy and the subtlety of oak ageing. Each and every stage crucial in producing the most richly flavoured of all Scotch whiskies.
