Laphroaig Dun Bheagan Single Malt Scotch Whisky 20 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep golden amber with honeyed warmth and a hint of coppery glow.

Nose

Bold peat smoke and coastal iodine define the aroma, with sea-salt brightness and a whisper of medicinal tang. Beneath, vanilla and toffee from the bourbon barrels mingle with toasted oak, while citrus zest adds a lift. A refined, layered nose that promises a long, savory Islay smoke.

Palate

Powerful, peaty and warming, this Laphroaig lunges with bold peat smoke, medicinal iodine and sea-salt brine. Bourbon-cask maturation softens the edge with vanilla, almond toffee and toasted oak, while peppery spice adds lift. The palate is full-bodied and mouth-coating, finishing long, smoky and confidently dry with a coastal, medicinal echo.

Finish

Long, briny finish of coastal peat and medicinal iodine, with vanilla-rich Bourbon sweetness lingering from the cask. The smoke remains bright and resinous, while dry oak and gentle pepper weave through the tail, leaving a warm maritime echo.
