Laphroaig – 21 Year Old Heathrow T5 Opening 2008 (70cl, 53.4%)

This is Laphroaig 21 Year Old, an Islay single malt released in 2008 to mark the opening of Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport. It is a distillery bottling in a 70cl bottle, drawn from nine casks chosen by distillery manager John Campbell. Only 750 individually numbered bottles were filled, at a natural cask strength of 53.4%. The spirit was distilled in the late 1980s. It is described as setting Laphroaig's medicinal peat smoke alongside tropical fruit, vanilla, sea salt and polished oak.
