Flavour Profile: Smokey and Peaty 

A rare sherry-based expression from the best-selling brand of Islay single malt in the world. This begins its life the same way as any classic Laphroaig, with about 8 to 9 years in ex-bourbon casks. It is then specially transferred to ex-oloroso European oak butts for further maturation for an additional 12 to 18 months. The expression embodies both the quintessential distillery flavour with a full body profile, and an added layer of sweet dried fruits.

Rich and round flavours of dried fruits balanced with classic smokiness and iodine. On the nose: BBQ charsiew poork honeyed smokiness opening up to dominant notes of raisins and strawberry jam. On the palate: sweet and tongue-coating with beeswax, ash and substantial Vietnamese coffee and chocolate notes, followed by sweet dried red fruits. The finish: long and sweet with drying smoke and a lingering soy sauce umami character.
