The Laphroaig 31yo HL The Kinship Edition No. 5 is a single malt whisky from the renowned Islay distillery, Laphroaig. This limited edition bottling is the 5th release in Hunter Laing & Co's prestigious Kinship Series, launched to commemorate the company's first distillery at Ardnahoe, the newest on Islay. This particular edition is one of only 204 bottles produced, making it a rare and highly sought-after whisky.
Bottled at an admirable 47.1% ABV, this 31-year-old whisky was specially selected by the legendary Master Distiller, Jim McEwan. On the nose, it presents an enticing array of hot tar, oak, clove, orange oil, thick oily peat, and savory malt. The palate is equally captivating, revealing notes of baked apples, rich peat, tar, and orange, all complemented by a smoky finish.
The whisky has a juicy orange, peat, and aged oak aroma, followed by stewed apples and peat smoke on the palate, leading to a powerfully satisfying finish. This whisky is a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of Laphroaig and Hunter Laing & Co, and is a must-have for any whisky collector or enthusiast.
