The Laphroaig Archive Collection: 38 Year Old is a rare, release limited to just 400 bottles. This exceptional whisky showcases the depth and complexity of Laphroaig’s aged spirit, matured initially in ex-bourbon casks before a long secondary maturation in second-fill Oloroso-seasoned European oak.

Rich and nuanced, it delivers bold aromas of spice, fruit, and zesty orange, followed by layers of dried apricot, salted caramel, and crystalised ginger. The classic peat smoke is softened and integrated, offering a lingering warmth and sweetness. With a perfect balance of intensity and elegance, this release represents the pinnacle of the distillery’s craft, capturing Laphroaig’s unmistakable character in a refined and deeply expressive form.

Peat Smoke and Ocean Spray

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.
