The Laphroaig 25 Years Single Malt Whisky is the perfect marriage of sherried, oaky flavours from the European Oloroso Sherry Casks and the creamy, smooth, sweet flavours from the ex-American Bourbon Barrels. The Oloroso Sherry Casks and ex-American Bourbon Barrels were filled with newly distilled Laphroaig spirit from day one.
Bottled at Cask Strength, it is a perfect fusion of these two most different styles of maturation flavours, made even smoother by the 25 years it has had gently maturing.
Colour: | Bright red gold |
Nose: | The initial sweet, sherry sweetness is quickly followed but the time-honoured Islay peat fang |
Palate: | Rich round and full, the burst of peat that fills the mouth is quickly restrained by a sherry sweetness that slowly develops into spicy apple fruitiness |
Finish: | Very long & warming, leaving a distinct tang of Islay. |
