A limited edition expression released by the legendary Laphroaig Distillery in mid-2021, matured for 16 years in American oak casks. Plenty of familiar south coast Islay smokiness, mellowed slightly by the sweetness imparted from the casks, culminating in a rewarding dram perfect for evening sipping.
