Laphroaig® 28 Year Old Final Cask Scotch Whisky 750ml

The 2018 entry in Laphroaig's yearly limited edition series is one of the distillery's oldest releases yet – a 28-year-old whisky. It's a carefully selected mixture of casks, bringing together quarter casks, ex-bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry butts. It's picked up a reputation as being the best yet in the series, combining the distillery's medicinal smoke character with the fruitiness that many of its older bottles show.

Nose: Aroma is very pleasant.

Palate: There is a much greater presence of peat in the taste than the nose suggests. The smokiness quickly hits the palate and then tapers off.

Finish: Smooth & lingering.
