Remakable things happen when our iconic whisky is distilled and then poured into first-fill ex-bourbon barrels to aged for sixteen years. These barrels yield a bright gold color, more intense vanilla flavor and subtle spice notes during the maturation process. The perfect compliment to Laphroaig's signature smoky flavor.
Whisky Advocate Review (Editors' Choice):
This expression has been matured entirely in first-fill bourbon casks. The nose offers lemon juice squeezed onto hot baked salmon, cooked over a wood fire, then sprinkled with sea salt. Rich, sweet, tropical fruit flavors on the full palate, with honey, barley sugar, peppery oak, and mellow peat smoke. Dark chocolate, dry peat, and black pepper in the long, mildly medicinal finish.
