Laphroaig 15 year old was first created 30 years ago. Barrels were individually selected for their particularly mellow rounded flavour, then batch bottled at the higher export strength of 43% ABV. The resulting flavour soon became a firm favourite winning many awards.
TASTING NOTES
COLOUR Sparkling gold
NOSE Initial scents of grapefruit and fresh mint. A touch of water releases salted caramel, with signature Islay peat smoke underlying sweet orchard fruit aromas.
BODY Multifaceted.
TASTE Pink peppercorns, light peat smoke with a soft dryness, before a finish of tobacco and faint sea salt.
