On the nose the sensation is toffee and caramel, caused by the vanillas and tannins of the American oak, plus a dryness from the wood oil. The finish is long and alternates between this sweetness and smoke.

This expression offers an irresistible doubling of flavour due to the double maturation in two casks made of American oak.
Still-maturing whisky from our standard ex-bourbon barrels is transferred to quarter casks and left to rest in our warehouse just a stone's throw from the Atlantic shore.
This process represents Laphroaig breathing new life into a once-defunct tradition: the use of the smaller cask size, which ensures increased contact with the oak, creating a soft and velvety edge to complement Laphroaig's distinctive peatiness

COLOUR
Full sparkling gold

NOSE
Burning embers of peat in a crofter's fireplace, hints of coconut and banana aromas.

BODY
Full bodied.

FINISH
Really long, and dries appropriately with smoke and spice.

PALATE
Deep, complex and smoky yet offers and surprises the palate with a gentle sweetness.
