Laphroaig Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany edge.

Nose

Bold peat and medicinal iodine surge from the glass, like a smoky, sea-washed breeze. Briny sea spray and ash ride atop the warming peat, while hints of waxy vanilla and toasted oak thread through the complexity, with a peppery, mineral backbone that promises depth and warmth.

Palate

Full-bodied at cask strength, the palate unfurls peat smoke, iodine, and sea-salt brine, tempered by vanilla‑tinged oak. Peppery spice, dark treacle, and a hint of cocoa drift across the tongue, delivering a silky yet rugged texture that lingers with coastal ash and warming malt on the long finish.

Finish

Long, peaty finish lingers with medicinal iodine and sea-salt, a coastal plume of smoke. The full-cask strength leaves warming spice threading vanilla and oak, fading to a final whisper of ash and a touch of sweetness.
