Laphroaig 18 Year Old 48% (Bottle - 1/70cl)

Released in 2009, this 18-year-old single malt is a spectacular example of some of Islay's greatest whiskies. A soft, sweet and spicy Islay peat smoke gives way to a wonderful oak-y sweetness. A faint hint of the sea can be detected, testimony to its time maturing on the remote island of Islay. It was bottled at 48% ABV without chill-filtration for a depth of taste and texture. This much-loved expression was sadly discontinued after the distillery ceased production in 2016.
