Celebrate the highly anticipated return of a beloved classic with the Laphroaig 15 Year Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Reintroduced to the core range after a decade-long absence, this exceptional permanent release offers a more mature and refined take on the distillery's unmistakable peated character. Distilled on the rugged shores of Islay, this whisky is matured exclusively in carefully selected American oak ex-bourbon barrels for a full 15 years.
Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV), the extended maturation process softens Laphroaig's signature intense medicinal peat smoke, allowing deeper layers of bright citrus, warm vanilla, and gentle spices to emerge. Whether you are an experienced peat enthusiast or exploring heavily peated whisky for the first time, this perfectly balanced expression delivers the rich, uncompromising coastal character that has made Laphroaig famous worldwide.
