Description

The Laphroaig 18 Year Old is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, introduced in 2009 as a replacement for the 15 Year Old, and later discontinued around 2016 due to limited supply. It is matured in ex-Bourbon American oak barrels and is known for its distinctive character, balancing Laphroaig's signature smoky peat with notes of vanilla, sweet ripe fruits, and honey. It is bottled at 48% ABV and without chill filtration.
