Laphroaig 16 Year Old is a limited edition expression originally created in celebration of Laphroaig's 200th anniversary. It was a bit of a hit, so Laphroaig 16 is now part of a small-batch occasional release. The iconic Laphroaig whisky is distilled and then matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels for sixteen years. These barrels produce a whisky with a bright gold colour, with leather and vanilla sweetness with subtle spice notes that complement the rich and smoky signature style.
Copper in colour. The nose first reveals roasted chestnuts with rich maple syrup, a touch of black pepper. The palate shows sweetness with treacle and caramel notes present. The long lasting finish is smokey and sweet.
Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to release the flavours.
