Laphroaig The Perfect Dram Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 20 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with mahogany nuances and a coppery glow.

Nose

Coiled peat smoke, sea-salt and medicinal iodine rise from the glass, carried by an Islay breeze. Sherry-influenced notes darken with fig, raisin and cocoa, while leather and ash lend ballast. A whisper of vanilla and spice threads through, leaving a polished, lingering coastal perfume.

Palate

Bold, medicinal peat leads with salt-kissed brine and ash, opening to a lush sherry-soft sweetness. Dried fruits, cocoa and toffee weave through the velvet mouthfeel, lifted by hints of leather and spice. The finish is long and warming, a maritime smoke and peppery fade that lingers.

Finish

Long, coastal finish of Laphroaig peat, with medicinal iodine lingering over sherry-softened sweetness. Dark chocolate, dried fig, and toasted oak weave through peppery spice and saline mineral notes, finishing with a warm, lasting ember on the palate.
