Tasting notes

The Laphroaig distillery of Islay offers an exceptional product with its 30-year-old Laphroaig. From whiskies distilled in 1985 and matured for three decades in Bourbon casks, this rare Single Malt condenses 30 years of aromas and maturation in the bottle. For John Campbell, master distiller of Laphroaig, the bottling in 2016 of this unique Laphroaig 30 years old edition distilled in 1985 and aged exclusively in barrels of Bourbon remains a "unique moment". With its 53.5°, this whisky is powerful, complex and very aromatic. It reveals very fruity notes of mandarin, mango, coconut with hints of almond and smoke tips. The set has beautiful spices of vanilla, coriander and ginseng.

Key characteristics

About this whisky

Laphroaig is one of Islay's most distinctive single malt whisky producers, renowned for crafting heavily peated expressions that define the island's robust character. Located on the south coast of this remote Scottish island, Laphroaig draws from Islay's unique terroir, where peat-rich soils and maritime influences shape the spirit's bold, smoky profile. The distillery's commitment to traditional production methods, including the use of locally-sourced peat and direct flame heating, ensures an authentic expression of regional heritage in every bottle.

This Laphroaig release showcases the depth and complexity that extended maturation brings to Islay whisky. At 53.5% ABV, the spirit delivers the full intensity of the distillery's signature peat-forward style, layered with the subtle refinement that comes from decades in cask. This is a whisky suited to contemplative evenings, ideal for those who appreciate intense, characterful spirits. Perfect for the cigar room, yacht library, or as a distinguished addition to any fine spirits collection, it pairs exceptionally well with rich chocolates, strong cheeses, and contemplative moments in refined settings.
