Laphroaig 1985 30 Year Old

Distilled on the rugged south coast of Islay in October 1985, this Laphroaig matured for three decades in bourbon barrels, resulting in a whisky deeply reflective of its coastal origins. The name ‘Laphroaig’ itself evokes the distillery’s location – ‘the broad hollow by the bay’ – hinting at the maritime influence on its character. Expect an intensely peaty and smoky experience, layered with rich flavours that have earned Laphroaig a reputation as a bold and distinctive single malt. Bottled in May 2016 at 53.5% ABV, this 30-year-old expression showcases the enduring legacy of a distillery favoured even by royalty.
