Intense blackened wood stalks the palate before a long, warming and dry finish, roaring with chilli pepper and great waves of smoke. A classic Lagavulin twelve striking in every way. The king of Islay, in his prime. Fiercely rampant, with a clarity of vision and a sense of purpose none can deny.

The whisky has a powerful, peat-smoke aroma, and is described as being robustly full-bodied, well balanced, and smooth, with a slight sweetness on the palate. International Spirit ratings competitions have generally given Lagavulin's 16-year spirit extremely high scores.

The secret to Laphroaig is that it benefits from the happy circumstances of where it is produced - next to ocean water and on land that gives Laphroaig a unique peaty taste.

Finished in European sherry oak casks for a particularly memorable single malt. This unique expression begins with the same time-honoured process that goes into Laphroaig 10 Year Old. After drawing rich character from ex-Bourbon barrels, the spirit then rests in casks previously filled with sweet Oloroso sherry. Each barrel is hand selected to add extra complexity to this quintessential single malt. This marriage of casks creates a rich full-bodied flavour with notes of Manuka honey, grilled bacon and maple syrup alongside the classic smoke, seaweed and hint of salt that Laphroaig is known and loved for.

By maturing the liquid in small batches in five unique casks, we create a liquid that is rich, complex, varied and above all storied. As the name suggests, this new offering from Laphroaig is inspired by the knowledge and traditions passed down from generation to generation of its distillery managers, blenders and craftsmen.

The whisky's rich flavours come through as never before because the whisky is non chill-filtered. This gives a depth of genuine taste and texture normally associated with sampling a whisky at source.

A moonlit glint of sleek steel flashes, a stunning presence in the sweet calmness of the night.

Wielded with astonishing skill, it shines as a symbol of elegance and craftsmanship. Mortlach is famed for its sweet yet savoury taste, defiantly rare among Speyside malts. Moved by this contrasting spark of umami, their Malt Master drew inspiration from the flavours of Japan, and finished part of this stunning expression in ex-Kanosuke Japanese Whisky casks. To add balance to the sweetness, ex-Pinot Noir casks were used to finish the remaining part of the whisky, in a combination of the utmost precision. A striking golden gleam introduces sweet, alluring aromas of ripe melon and pear. On the palate, drily spiced savoury flavours cut through a scintillating sweetness.
