Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Old Bottling) 15 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and bronze-tinged edges.

Nose

Intense peat smoke dominates the nose, entwined with iodine, sea salt and coastal seaweed. A warm thread of sherry and oak carries vanilla, toffee and dried fruit, while subtle leather and ash add depth. Maritime, refined and lingering, this aroma invites a bold, smoky sip.

Palate

Bold peat, medicinal iodine and briny sea spray lead the palate, with a satin cloak of sherry-soaked fruit and toasty oak. Dried fig, plum and dark chocolate emerge against ash and leather, while vanilla and spice weave through the middle. The finish is long, saline and softly smoky, leaving a warming trace of charred sweetness.

Finish

Long maritime finish of peat smoke, iodine and sea salt that lingers on the palate. Subtle sherry sweetness unfolds as oak and peppery spice deepen, then fades to resinous charcoal and a whisper of vanilla. A coastal, warming echo that remains, like embers from a well-kept peat fire.
