Laphroaig 15 Years Anniversary Edition 70cl 43°
For its 200th anniversary, the new owners of the Laphroaig distillery present an expression that disappeared in 2009, Laphroaig 15 Years Old.
The prevailing peat flavour of Laphroaig is here more subtle, even delicate, and gives its lovely character to this expression without dominating other fragrances.
Citrus fruits, red fruits and liquorice and freed from the beginning of the tasting onwards, and open on a lasting finish of smoky and iodine notes.

No one knows the full history of Laphroaig as much of it has been lost in the midst of time unfortunately.
For a long time on Islay as in all Scotland, distilling was illegal so no one spoke of the numerous small stills, easy to move around and usually hidden in farms. If you wished a refill, just a nod and a wink in the right direction!
We know that the Johnston’s established a farm in Laphroaig around 1800 as, a while after, Charles & Willie Doig were asked to work “at the distillery”. From 1815, the Laphroaig reputation grew and caught the attention of tax agents who established “officially” Johnston & Johnston. This is how the great Laphroaig adventure began.
It is said a good story is about a good story-teller and who better than one of the former distillery managers?
