Laphroaig 25 Year Old / Cask Strength

Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky

This new cask-strength bottling of Laphroaig 25yo is a very different beast to the old 25yo (and in our opinion, a big improvement). Rich and smouldering, with a big coal hit and a lingering seaweed character. Tremendous stuff.

£229.89 inc. VAT (£195.65 ex. VAT)

Tasting Notes:

Tasting Notes by Tim F

Nose: Quite farmyardy to begin with, then wet flax, linen and a delicious sooty smoke - the signature Laphroaig coaldust aroma. Old school Laphroaig of the best kind.

Palate: Richer than expected, with both a big coal hit and a syrupy, sherried sweetness. Very seaweedy. Develops woodsmoke. Power, sweetness and complex peat / smoke characteristics, with a reassuring weight on delivery. An accomplished, polished dram.

Finish: Very long, with a big spicy tingle and the sweetness coming through. Long coal burn. Salty. Wow, this really is long. Terrific.

Comment: Much, much better, in this reviewer's opinion, than the first batch of 25yo which was bottled at 40%. The extra strength gives this dram a far more assertive personality. This is classic old Laphroaig at the top of its game.

Brand Info:

Laphroaig

Laphroaig Distillery
Part of the triumvirate of heavily-peated southern Islay malts, alongside LVMH's Ardbeg and Diageo's Lagavulin, Laphroaig was founded in 1810 by brothers Alexander and Donald Johnston (although the official year of start-up is given as 1815 on the company's labels and literature). The histories of Lagavulin and Laphroaig have been closely tied together, with Lagavulin said to have been founded by Alex and Donald's father, John.
