Tasting Notes

This exquisite 34-year-old Laphroaig single malt whisky is a true gem, a testament to the legacy of Ian Hunter, the last Johnston family member to own and manage the distillery. Matured in first-fill bourbon American oak barrels and Pedro Ximénez hogheads, it boasts a captivating complexity that unfolds with each sip. The marriage of peat smoke and sherry richness creates a harmonious dance on the palate, accompanied by notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and a subtle hint of sea salt. Bottled without chill-filtration at a robust 45.5% ABV, this rare and collectable whisky offers an authentic and unadulterated experience, inviting you to savor the essence of Laphroaig's storied history. With each dram, you'll embark on a journey through time, reliving the craftsmanship and passion that have defined this iconic Islay distillery for generations.
