The Laphroaig 21yo Friends of Laphroaig is a special release from 2015, created to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the Friends of Laphroaig group, an exclusive community for fans of the Laphroaig distillery. This whisky was originally only available through a ballot to members of the group and is a 350ml bottling of Laphroaig 21 Year Old Islay Single Malt. It was exclusively produced for the Friends Of Laphroaig's 21st Birthday and was never available in retail stores, making it a highly coveted item among collectors and aficionados. This limited edition whisky was matured in first fill ex-bourbon casks, with some of the casks being air dried instead of kiln dried. Bottled at 48.4% ABV, only approximately 13,000 bottles were released. With over 680,000 Friends of Laphroaig members, the demand for this rare whisky was exceptionally high. The Laphroaig 21yo Friends of Laphroaig is celebrated not only for its rarity but also for its unique flavor profile, which includes exotic notes of mango and papaya, creamy and peppery nuances, and a complex finish featuring ash, pear, and mint. This whisky is a testament to the renowned craftsmanship of the Laphroaig distillery, located in the Islay region, known for producing some of the world's most distinctive single malt scotches.
