A Rare Mature Islay Release
Matured for a full quarter century in bourbon casks, this official Laphroaig 25 Year Old Cask Strength release was bottled in 2019 at 51.4% ABV. Non-chill filtered and presented at natural cask strength, it captures a deeply refined expression of mature Islay whisky where medicinal peat, coastal salinity, oak maturity, and elegant bourbon cask influence come together with remarkable balance and complexity.
