This is a 35 year old Laphroaig, the second release in the distillery's Strong Characters series. Chapter 2 celebrates Dugald Johnston, who took charge of Laphroaig at a very young age after his father Donald died in 1847. It was matured in American oak casks, barrels and hogsheads and is bottled at 43.8% ABV in a 70cl bottle. The outturn is 5,500 bottles, with a black-and-white illustration by Bill Bragg.
The nose is sweet, with freshly baked pastry and scents of apple and cherry. Smokiness and spice open the palate, followed by a creamy mouthfeel and light raisin. The finish carries aniseed and a light peppery tingle, fading back to peat smoke.
