Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old
Out of stock
Laphroaig 16 year old Whisky is a mellower expression of the famous Islay Scotch, slowly aged in ex-Bourbon barrels. The additional years spent resting in American oak lends notes of leather and vanilla, which compliment the signature rich and smoky flavours that Laphroaig Whisky is famous for.
On the nose there is the aforementioned sweet leather and vanilla, along with oaky spices. A woody character with gorse flowers and heather fragrance, roasted chestnuts with rich maple syrup and a touch of black pepper. The flavour is sweet with treacle and caramel, Manuka honey and thyme but also intense wood smoke, creosote, lots of floral notes of heather and bergamot, and a chili mouthfeel. A long lasting finish; smoky, sweet and salted seaweed, medicinal in character.

Sweet leather and vanilla crown the aroma, rounded by oaky spices. A woody note lingers with gorse flowers and heather, while roasted chestnuts mingle with rich maple syrup and a touch of black pepper. A refined, inviting nose that previews the Islay depth and mellower, aged character.
Palate
Silky on the palate with treacle and caramel sweetness, offset by vanilla-soaked leather and warm oak spices. Rich smoke threads in, creosote and char mingling with notes of gorse, heather and roasted chestnut. Manuka honey, thyme and bergamot brighten the mid-palate, while a peppery chili bite lingers. The finish is long, smoky and salted, with seaweed and medicinal notes tying the experience together.
