Laphroaig 16 Year Old is an age-statement single malt whisky from the Laphroaig distillery on the isle of Islay. Originally released as a limited-edition bottling to commemorate Laphroaig`s 200th anniversary, the 16-year-old is now released intermittently in small batches by the distillery. In this sought-after Islay peated malt, Laphroaig`s signature medicinal, iodine character of is given a few extra years to mellow, producing a notably rich peated whisky with a degree of subtlety and finesse seldom seen in the rest of the Laphroaig range

Laphroaig

One of Scotland's most famous distilleries, Laphroaig was founded on Islay in 1815 by Alexander and Donald Johnston. The distillery operates three wash stills and four spirit stills and produces around three and a half million litres of whisky a year. Water is drawn locally from the Kilbride Dam.

Laphroaig is famous for the intense peatiness of the spirit - smokiness, medicinal notes abound in the younger bottlings while more mature whiskies see a mellowing of this flavour. The team favour more active ex-Bourbon casks for ageing, bottling at 10 years as standard with limited edition 15, 18, 25 and 30 years olds also featuring occasionally. Cask strength editions and Sherry barrel finish editions have been well received by fans of the distillery.
