To celebrate two centuries of uncompromising peat-smoke mastery, Laphroaig released this limited-edition 16-Year-Old Single Malt in 2015, marking their 200th anniversary. Established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the rugged south coast of Islay, Laphroaig is legendary for its intensely medicinal, smoky, and maritime character. This expression was matured exclusively in ex-bourbon American oak barrels, allowing the distillery's signature heavy peat and cold-smoked barley notes to mellow gracefully over sixteen years. The result is a beautifully complex dram where the fierce Islay sea spray and iodine are softened by rich vanilla, sweet floral honey, and warm oak spices, embodying the historic craftsmanship of one of Scotland's most iconic distilleries.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston, Laphroaig Distillery is situated on the rugged south coast of the Isle of Islay, Scotland. Celebrated globally for its distinctively bold, peaty, and medicinal character, the distillery remains one of the few that still utilizes traditional floor maltings to dry its barley over local, hand-cut Islay peat. This artisanal heritage, paired with distillation in unique copper pot stills and maturation primarily in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, defines its legendary portfolio, which includes the iconic 10 Year Old, Quarter Cask, and highly coveted aged limited editions.
