Distilled on the Scottish island of Islay, this single malt carries the maritime, peat-driven character the region is known for. It comes from Laphroaig, whose distillery sits on the island's southern coast, and it has spent fifteen years maturing before bottling.
Islay single malts tend toward smoke, brine, and a coastal salinity, and this fifteen-year expression softens some of that intensity with age, letting a rounder, gentler side come forward alongside the peat. Pour it neat or with a few drops of water to open it up, and give it time in the glass; it rewards slow sipping after a meal.
