Tasting Notes

Colour

Pale gold, a peek of the complexity created by the careful aging process.

Nose

Sweet pear drops, crisp green apples, custard, and warm pastry on the nose, balanced with notes of cured smoked ham and cinnamon spice.

Palate

Rich and complex, with tropical pineapple, peach, and mango, backdropped with a gentle hint of white pepper and barbecued orange rind.

Finish

A long and soft finish with evolved smoky aftertaste.

Maturation

Aged for a quarter of a century in ex-Bourbon casks.

“What you really want to do with the 25 is hold it in your mouth that wee bit longer, allow all your senses, your palate, everything to absorb these incredible flavours.”

TASTE 25 YEARS OF HISTORY

An evolution of the flavours in the classic Laphroaig 10 we all know and love, our 25 Year Old Cask Strength started its journey in 1998 – well before the age of social media and hyperconnectivity. Matured for a quarter of a century, non-chill filtered and bottled at cask strength to preserve its full flavour, our 2023 expression is a truly powerful one.

In its teenage years in the ex-bourbon casks, there is a prominent sweetness of red berries and vanilla. Then, like many strong-natured teenagers, this spirit emerges into its twenties slightly softened and more well-rounded. Now, the fruitier notes have time to come to the fore and blend with the ever-present smokiness.

Wave after wave of tropical flavour with a long, smoky finish and quintessential Laphroaig aftertaste – these historic and evolved flavours will surely appeal to whisky connoisseurs around the world wanting to savour a taste experience 25 years in the making.
