We Thought We Were Sold Out... But They Found Us More!

Twenty year old PX Sherry matured Laphroaig? Yes please! This is a curiosity, 20 year old LAphroaig from a single Butt, bottled at 54.3%. Only 30 bottles coming exclusively to KWM! 

Producer Description

"This whisky was distilled in 1998 and bottled from a single Pedro Ximénez sherry butt. The balance of rich fruit and smoke is perfect and the signature notes of 1990s’ Laphroaig distillate are present and correct. Only 714 bottles were produced."

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Coal fires, candy floss and lobster pots. Thick, dense smoke combines with notes of kirsch. The peat becomes more medicinal, showing classic distillery character. Darker, almost burnt-tyre notes remain.

Palate: Juicy, with rich stewed fruit and smoked salt. Well balanced and reminiscent of perfectly cooked game meat covered in a port and redcurrant sauce. Notes of beach BBQ, charred mackerel and sweet langoustines develop, reminding us of a perfect summer day on Islay.

Finish: Smoked sea salt and dark fruit linger, leaving the palate slightly dry and ready for a second sip.
