Former Bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts continue to mark our 2021 25 Year Old Cask Stength whisky. Supreme smoothness in texture and touched with a distinguished flavour provides you a 51.9% vol of Laphroaig 25 Year Old Cask Strength single malt whisky – still proving that patience pays off.
Supremely smooth and utterly exquisite, Laphroaig 25 Year Old Cask Strength single malt whisky is a dram worth savoring. This exquisite 51.9% vol whisky blends famously rugged Laphroaig flavours with a mellow sweetness after a quarter of a century in ex-Bourbon casks and barrels once filled with Oloroso sherry.
When the whisky is finished maturing, extraction, filtration, and bottling of the whisky produce a taste similar to that at the source, with full strength. Peat smoke and spice offer remarkable flavors with the balance of vanilla and apple that are layered and full-bodied, and they coat the palate smoothly for a unique mouthfeel. This would be unattainable without the proper patience to mature this premium whisky for the layered and long finish that sets it apart.
