And when it comes to the Laphroaig 25 Year Old Cask Strength single malt, there’s no doubt that good things are worth the wait. This exquisite 49.8% vol from 2020 blends famously rugged Laphroaig flavours with a mellow sweetness after a quarter of a century in ex-Bourbon casks and barrels once filled with Oloroso sherry. The whisky is extracted, filtered, and bottled at its natural strength creating an experience equivalent to tasting it at the source – after maturing first. A remarkably smooth mouthfeel is enabled by the full-bodied and well-rounded, flavours of peat smoke and spice balanced by vanilla and apple gliding over the palate. This premium whisky is a product of the long, layered finish, reflecting the patience put into bottling of this premium scotch. Colour: Pale gold, a peek of the complexity created by the careful aging process. Nose: Restrained smoky flavours and aromas of sweet vanilla, wood spice, smoked bacon and a hint of dried fruit. Palate: Layered and creamy, with flavours of pepper, iodine and peat smoke along with hints of green apple. Finish: Lingering with waves of smoke and a peppery conclusion. Maturation: This cask strength single malt spends a quarter of a century in ex-Bourbon casks and Oloroso sherry barrels.
