This travel retail exclusive showcases Laphroaig's signature peat smoke through an intricate triple-maturation process, culminating in prized Pedro Ximénez sherry casks.
Triple-Wood Maturation Journey
Beginning in traditional bourbon barrels, this expression moves through quarter American oak casks before finishing in Pedro Ximénez sherry wood. Bottled at 48% ABV (96 proof), this release maintains Laphroaig's coastal character while introducing rich sherry influences. The strategic use of quarter casks between traditional bourbon and PX barrels creates a unique flavor bridge that sets this expression apart from other travel retail offerings.
A Dance of Smoke and Sherry
The nose presents softer smoke than the traditional 10-year, balanced with vanilla, caramel, and dark fruits. The palate delivers waves of cinnamon, clove, and black pepper, intertwined with sweet dark fruits and classic Islay smoke. The finish reveals long-lasting ashy peat fire supported by warming spices and rich sherry sweetness.
