Single Malt Limited Edition 27YO Bottled 2017
⏳ wine.drinking_window
As a fully matured, ultra-premium single malt bottled in 2017, this expression is at its absolute peak. Unlike wine, spirits do not mature further in the bottle, meaning it can be enjoyed immediately or cellared indefinitely under proper conditions to be savored over many years.

Rich blue cheeses such as Roquefort or Stilton, high-quality dark chocolate, and slow-smoked meats like duck breast or venison.
✨ wine.spec_sheet
Established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the rugged south coast of Islay, Laphroaig is legendary for its uncompromisingly peated, medicinal single malts. This rare 27-year-old limited edition, bottled in 2017, showcases the sublime alchemy of time on Islay's intense maritime character. Distilled and filled into refill quarter casks and first-fill bourbon barrels, the spirit was matured in Laphroaig's historic dunnage warehouses, where it absorbed the salty sea air of the Atlantic. Over nearly three decades, the distillery's signature aggressive peat smoke and medicinal iodine notes softened, transforming into a complex, elegant tapestry of tropical fruits, toasted macadamia nuts, gentle peat smoke, and sea spray. It stands as a testament to the patient maturation process that defines Islay's finest aged spirits.
🍾 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.
