The Laphroaig 18 year old is made in small quantities each year and enjoyed by only a small amount of whisky lovers. A soft, sweet and spicy Islay peat smoke greets you when you open your first bottle. The first taste is an oak sweetness, from 18 years in the barrel.

A faint hint of the sea can be detected, testimony to its time maturing on the remote island of Islay.
