Laphroaig 2005 BRI

Laphroaig 20 Year Old 2005 Highland Laird 58.9% 70cl A thrilling and lesser-spotted Laphroaig release from celebrated independent bottler Highland Laird. Distilled on the legendary whisky island of Islay back in October 2005, it started out life in an ex-bourbon barrel. It was then finished in an ex-sherry butt, which layered dried fruit, polished oak and rich spice notes over the signature smoke and iodine profile. Bold, bright yet elegant, this is a must-try for Laphroaig fans. Official tasting notes: Nose:Peaty smoke and iodine, dried fruit, medicinal freshness Palate: Rich, oily texture, dates and treacle, signature Laphroaig phenolic smoke, charred wood and black pepper Finish: Long and complex, bonfire ash and brine, cocoa powder
