Laphroaig Whisky

Laphroaig is Islay's most medicinal whisky, a dram so intensely peated it's either loved unconditionally or rejected outright. It carries a royal warrant from Prince Charles and a flavor no other whisky quite matches.

    Laphroaig 11 Year Old Dràm Mòr is an exclusive single malt whisky from the Laphroaig distillery on Islay, bottled at an alcohol strength of 53.8% ABV. Distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2024, this whisky has matured in a single refill cask, resulting in a limited release of only 300 bottles.

    The nose offers the classic Laphroaig smoky aroma, wrapped in caramelized toffee, a hint of salt, and a mix of mild yellow fruits.
    This is a dram that feels older than its 11 years. The balance between smoke and sweetness is remarkable. Fresh yellow fruits, a touch of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and spicy white pepper over an open flame provide a complex tasting experience.
    The finish is long-lasting, with a warming conclusion that highlights all aspects of this excellent dram.

    Laphroaig 15 Year Old Version Single Islay Malt Whisky 43%

    Laphroaig 15 Year Old is a refined and more sophisticated version of the classic 10-year expression – here in a vintage bottling from 2008. This single malt presents lively notes of fresh oak and warm peat smoke, supported by a gentle sweetness reminiscent of freshly grated nutmeg and roasted almonds. A subtle saltiness rounds off the overall impression.

    On the nose, powerful peat smoke dominates with hints of tar, iodine, and a touch of creosote. A bit of fruit unfolds and blends with elegant smoky swirls, resulting in a rich and complex aromatic profile.

    The taste opens with medicinal peat smoke that quickly softens and becomes more harmonious. It is rich, smooth, and well-balanced, with sweetness slowly emerging, followed by intense peat smoke and a hint of malt.

    The finish is pronounced but well-calibrated – smoky and balanced, and it carries the flavor elegantly.

    Laphroaig Oak Select Single Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 40% is an elegant and approachable expression from the iconic Islay distillery. Crafted through maturation in a combination of different cask types, it delivers a unique balance between the distillery’s signature peaty smoke and softer, rounded notes.

    The whisky has been matured in Oloroso sherry butts, American white oak – including virgin oak – hogsheads seasoned with Pedro Ximénez, quarter casks, and first-fill bourbon barrels. This diverse maturation process adds both depth and complexity, while smoothing out the powerful smoky character with touches of sweetness and spice.

    On the nose, it offers pronounced peat smoke, sea salt, and citrus, complemented by vanilla and subtle sherry tones. The palate is full-bodied and well-balanced, with layers of smoke, spice, sweet vanilla, and dried fruit. The finish is softer than many classic Laphroaig releases, yet still long and distinctive.

    With its combination of strength and elegance, Laphroaig Oak Select is an excellent choice for seasoned Islay enthusiasts as well as those looking to explore the world of peated whisky in a more harmonious style.

About Laphroaig

Laphroaig is the very definition of a love-it-or-hate-it whisky, an Islay single malt whose massive peat smoke and iodine-like, almost medicinal character has made it a cult object among enthusiasts. For beginners, the first encounter can be a challenge, but that unmatched intensity is exactly why collectors chase both the classic bottlings and the distillery's rarer, cask-strength expressions.

History & Background

The distillery was founded in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on a small bay on Islay's south coast. The Johnston family owned the distillery until 1954, and along the way Laphroaig received a royal warrant after the then Prince Charles reportedly showed a particular fondness for the whisky's character.

Production & Style

The whisky is distilled from heavily peated malted barley, with peat from Islay's own bogs rich in sea salt and minerals, giving it its characteristic maritime edge. Much of the malt is still produced on the distillery's own floor maltings, a practice only a handful of Scotch distilleries still keep alive.

Signature Style

Smoky, Medicinal, Salty
The flavor offers an intensely smoky, medicinal character with a salty undertone and a touch of tar and iodine.

Awards & Recognition

Did You Know?

Founder Donald Johnston died in 1847 under dramatic circumstances, falling into a boiling mash tun at the distillery, a tragic story still told on tours to this day.
