Aged for 25 years in ex-Bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts. The exquisite flavour, supremely smooth texture and 49.8% vol of Laphroaig 25 year Old Cask Strength single malt whisky proves patience pays off.
And when it comes to the Laphroaig 25 Year Old Cask Strength single malt, there’s no doubt that good things are worth the wait. This exquisite 49.8% vol from 2020 blends famously rugged Laphroaig flavours with a mellow sweetness after a quarter of a century in ex-Bourbon casks and barrels once filled with Oloroso sherry.
The whisky is extracted, filtered, and bottled at its natural strength creating an experience equivalent to tasting it at the source – after maturing first. A remarkably smooth mouthfeel is enabled by the full-bodied and well-rounded, flavours of peat smoke and spice balanced by vanilla and apple gliding over the palate. This premium whisky is a product of the long, layered finish, reflecting the patience put into bottling of this premium scotch.
