Laphroaig 25 Year Old 2020 Release
Laphroaig 25 Year Old 2020 Release is a 25-year-old Islay single malt Scotch whisky bottled at natural cask strength of 49.8% ABV. This 2020 edition combines Laphroaig’s signature peat-led coastal character with long maturation in Oloroso sherry casks and American white oak bourbon barrels, creating a notably creamy and layered style.
This distillery bottling was matured for 25 years in a combination of second-fill European oak Oloroso sherry casks and American white oak bourbon barrels. It was released at cask strength, 49.8% ABV, and is listed as non-chill filtered. The international 2020 bottling is supplied in 700ml format.
Pale gold in colour, it opens with sweet vanilla, wood spice, restrained smoke, TCP-like medicinal notes, smoked bacon and dried fruit. The palate is creamy and full-textured, bringing peppery spice, iodine, saline smoke and a touch of green apple. Its long, layered finish carries waves of rich smoke before a peppery close.
This is a contemplative Islay single malt for slow sipping and sharing in small measures. Serve neat in a tulip-shaped whisky glass; a few drops of water can be added gradually to explore its aromas and texture.
