Introducing the Laphroaig 30-Year-Old Single Malt Whisky – a rare treasure, distilled in 1994 to commemorate the creation of the Friends of Laphroaig program. Bottled in 2024, this remarkable release captures the true spirit of Islay, celebrated worldwide for its bold flavors and unmistakable smoky character.
Matured in a refill American Oak ex-Bourbon seasoned hogshead, it delivers a beautifully balanced profile where sweetness meets smoke: fresh lemon, ripe melon, and silky cream intertwined with Laphroaig’s hallmark peat, sea salt, and seaweed. Produced in very limited quantities and bottled at a natural cask strength of 45.9%, it stands as a true collector’s piece and a connoisseur’s delight.
Colour
Pale Straw
Aroma
Herbal, grassy, and citrus-led. An initial burst of intense herbal woodsmoke combines with lemon sherbet and subtle nuttiness reminiscent of cashews. Bright and zesty, lifted by honeydew melon. With a splash of water, softer nuances of creamy vanilla, lemongrass, and citrus unfold.
Taste
A wave of grassy, herbal smoke gives way to a cooling menthol freshness. Notes of lemon blossom, vanilla cream, and a delicate hint of coconut linger on the palate. The finish is long, intense, and complex, with impressions of Lapsang Souchong tea and vibrant citrus.
Finish
Sweet, fruity, smoky
