This Islay single malt whisky was bottled from a single refill bourbon cask at natural cask strength. That style typically keeps the distillery character front and centre, with less overt oak influence than a first-fill cask.
Laphroaig is widely known for a powerful peated style, often showing smoky, maritime and medicinal notes. At 55.9% ABV, this bottle is likely to drink with intensity, and many people will prefer to add a little water to open it up.
As a single-cask release, it may show small differences from other bottlings, but the core character is expected to be bold, smoky and coastal.
