Laphroaig 16 Year Old | 700ml 48% Whisky

Laphroaig 16 Year Old is a mellower whisky of their famous Islay Scotch, slowly aged in ex-bourbon barrels.

The additional years spent resting in American oak lends notes of leather and vanilla, which complement the signature rich and smoky flavors that Laphroaig whisky is famous for. A perfect example of how our peated whisky ages and matures over time, this dram is an ideal choice for the long evenings of late summer as they transition into the cozy nights of fall.
