25 YO Cask Strength Whisky - 2020 Edition
Aged for 25 years in ex-Bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts. The exquisite flavour, supremely smooth texture and 49.8% vol of Laphroaig 25 Cask Strength single malt whisky proves patience pays off.
Patience deserves to be rewarded.
And when it comes to the Laphroaig® 25 Cask Strength single malt, there’s no doubt that good things are worth the wait. This exquisite 49.8% vol whisky 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. After maturing, the whisky is extracted, filtered and bottled at its natural strength creating an experience equivalent to tasting it at the source. Full-bodied and well-rounded, flavours of peat smoke and spice balanced by vanilla and apple glide over the palate with a remarkably smooth mouthfeel. The long, layered finish reflects the patience put into bottling this premium whisky.
