ABOUT

Laphroaig 16 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a limited edition release from the iconic Laphroaig Distillery. Originally launched to celebrate the distillery's 200th anniversary, it has been well-received and is periodically re-released. This expression is matured for 16 years in American oak casks, which imparts a mellow sweetness to the traditionally smoky and peaty Laphroaig character.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Bright and tangy with notes of citrus, sweet caramel, orchard fruits, and a hint of sea air. There's also a subtle smokiness and medicinal quality characteristic of Laphroaig​

Palate: Rich and complex, with briny, smokey, and fruity flavors. Vanilla-laced French pastries, graham, and grilled meat come through, balanced by sweet caramel and a touch of spice​

Finish: Long and satisfying with lingering notes of smoke, malt, vanilla saltwater taffy, and minerality​

FOOD PAIRING

This whisky pairs well with seafood dishes, smoked salmon, and grilled meats. Its complex and robust flavors also complement rich desserts like dark chocolate and caramel tarts.
