Laphroaig 17 Years Old Francis Mallmann Limited Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Laphroaig 17 Years Old Francis Mallmann Limited Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a rare and unique collaboration with the renowned Patagonian fire chef, Francis Mallmann. This exceptional whisky, aged for 17 years, is finished in a white Madeira cask personally chosen by Mallmann during his visit to Islay. It combines the unmistakable Laphroaig smokiness with the richness of white Madeira cask, offering a unique taste experience with hidden depths. The packaging features hand-drawn sketches by Mallmann, inspired by his time on Islay and the cold smoking process synonymous with Laphroaig. This limited edition is bottled at 54.9% ABV, offering a cask-strength experience that is both peaty and profound.

Nose: Honey-sweet with a touch of mango, it leads into flaked almonds and demerara sugar, with heavy notes of tanned leather.

Palate: Begins with a peppery and spicy sensation, unveiling sweet notes of orange zest and tropical fruit, followed by salted caramel with unmistakable notes of peat smoke and sea salt.

Finish: Long and dry, warming the mouth while highlighting the peat and salt on the lips.

Pair this exquisite Laphroaig with rich, smoky dishes to complement its profound peatiness and sweet, complex character. Think grilled meats prepared with a touch of sophistication or a rich chocolate dessert to balance the whisky's smoky intensity and sweet, fruity undertones.
