Laphroaig 18yo 2013
The 18 Year-Old version is a small batch of Laphroaig, a yearly release and now discontinued only savoured by a privileged few. Sweetened and spicy, this peated Islay whisky unleashes enticing smoky notes whenever one opens the bottle. On the palate, sweet flavours of oak give way to a marine touch accounting for the long maturation on Islay of this Single Malt.

Taste Notes
A unique, gushing spirit, Laphroaig is a smoky, strongly flavoured whisky, with a palate joining the nose on oaky aromas. It is undoubtedly a characterful, vibrant expression.
With a warming, smoky aftertaste, Laphroaig is straight, uncompromising: the rich in seaweed Glenmachrie peat, and Kilbride Dam spring water mingle in the distillation process to provide this unique, peaty flavour and dark colour to Laphroaig.
