LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

It tastes like a hospital fire in a good way. It is the ultimate test for the Islay fan—a liquid that demands total respect and offers a complexity that few other spirits can match.

The Library Note

Founded in 1815, Laphroaig's character is derived from its own peat bogs on Islay, which contain a high proportion of moss and seaweed. It is the only whisky to carry a Royal Warrant from HRH The Prince of Wales (now King Charles III), a testament to its unique and uncompromising character.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Huge peat smoke, iodine, seaweed, and a surprising underlying sweetness.

THE PALATE

A medicinal explosion of seaweed, salt, and intense peat, giving way to hints of vanilla and cardamom.

THE FINISH

Long, warming, and intensely smoky with a lingering sea-salt snap.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

The 'Medicinal' Dram: Serve neat with a pipette of spring water on the side. Add water drop by drop until the 'oily' texture opens up, revealing notes of vanilla and black pepper hidden behind the smoke.

Composition

Malted Barley

Water

Isle of Islay Peat

EXPERT TECHNIQUE

Malt kilning over peat fires and maturation in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels.
