Description

A classic 15-year-old Islay single malt from Laphroaig, bottled in the 1980s before the distillery received its Royal Warrant in 1994. This 'Pre-Royal Warrant' edition is distinguished by the red '15' emblazoned behind the text on the label and the 'Unblended Malt' terminology on the presentation tin. It is known for a smoother, more elegant profile compared to the standard 10-year-old.

Nose
Pungent and smoky with coal tar soap and iodine, balanced by a soft sweetness reminiscent of green jelly babies.
Palate
Surprisingly sweet entry followed by salty and dry notes, with billows of tarry smoke and medicinal seaweed.
Finish
Rich and smooth with a light, elegant texture and a lingering hint of pipe tobacco.
