Matured over an impressive 28 years, Laphroaig 28 Year Old Limited Edition is a testament to the craftsmanship that defines this iconic Islay distillery. Aged in a variety of cask sizes, from quarter casks to full-sized butts, each unique whisky was brought together and married in sherry casks for an additional 12-year finishing period before being bottled in 2018 at a graceful 44.4% ABV. This exceptional expression is presented in an elegant white wooden box with a hinged lid, enhancing its sophisticated appeal. On the nose, this distinguished dram is rich with quintessential peaty notes, complemented by golden syrup, toasted dates, and a hint of Scottish heather. The palate reveals a delightful complexity, with griddled pears, barbecued meat, old leather, and pepper dominating the taste, balanced by a subtle sweetness. The finish is prolonged with spicy notes of licorice, vanilla, black pepper, dry spices, and cedarwood, making it a truly memorable experience. Laphroaig, a renowned brand for peated single malts from Islay, continues to impress with whiskies that boast significant age statements, even as more producers shift towards NAS (No Age Statement) releases. This 28-year-old bottling, composed of multiple vintage whiskies, showcases Laphroaig's commitment to quality and tradition. The whisky has garnered great appreciation from connoisseurs, earning its place as a highly regarded limited edition among Scotch enthusiasts.
