Laphroaig Highgrove Vintage Edition #2 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1990 Vintage

Colour

Dense amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany edge, a rich, sunlit caramel-gold glow.

Nose

Peat smoke and medicinal iodine rise from the glass, brightened by sea-salt brine. Sherry-cask maturity adds plush fruit: dried fig and raisin, with toffee and a hint of dark chocolate. Subtle leather, warm oak spice and a whisper of citrus complete a coastal, refined aroma.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied mouthfeel with Laphroaig’s signature peat and medicinal iodine cutting through sea-salted, sherried sweetness. Rich dark fruit, fig and cocoa unfold into roasted nuts and a whisper of vanilla. Spice builds, then lingers in a long, smoky finish with char, leather and marine tang.

Finish

Long, smoky finish with coastal iodine and sea-salt, true to Laphroaig peat. Sherry-cask richness drapes the finish with dark fruit, fig and cocoa, fading to warming spice and an ember-like sweetness that lingers through the oak.
