Laphroaig 16 Year Artist Series Scotch Whiskey | La Maison Du Whisky – 750ml

Discover the bold character of Laphroaig’s legendary Islay heritage in this exclusive single cask release—a whisky crafted for those who seek depth and intrigue in every sip. Hailing from Scotland’s iconic Islay region, this rare single malt delivers a striking contrast of smoky intensity and unexpected elegance, perfect for discerning palates craving complexity without compromise.

Nose: A symphony of contradictions unfolds—floral lily of the valley and citrusy lemon dance alongside earthy tiger balm and clove-spiced warmth, creating an aroma that’s both refined and ruggedly authentic.

Palate: The first taste erupts with Laphroaig’s signature peat smoke, layered over velvety dark chocolate and tropical fruit sweetness—ripe peach, pineapple, and banana—balanced by a hint of camphor’s herbal sharpness. This Islay single malt’s richness is amplified by its aging in ex-bourbon hogshead barrels, which lend vanilla and caramel undertones without overpowering its core peaty essence.

Finish: A lengthy finale opens with chimney-fire smokiness before revealing nuanced notes of barley-forward black tea, smoked bacon’s savory depth, and a bright zing of lime zest. Even as the flavors fade, the glass whispers secrets—artichoke-like earthiness lingers long after sipping, proving this cask has layers yet to uncover.

Ideal for collectors or enthusiasts exploring Islay’s peated masterpieces, this limited-edition bottling stands apart through its harmonious blend of boldness and sophistication. Each bottle captures the craftsmanship of a single cask’s unique journey—a testament to Laphroaig’s enduring legacy as one of whisky’s most daring innovators.
