Laphroaig has fashioned this whisky using malt from a number of different types of cask, including Oloroso Sherry butts, white American oak, Pedro Ximenez seasoned hoggies, Quarter casks and first fill bourbon casks.

This does sport the hallmark medicinal Laphroaig qualities we all love so much but it’s not packing a massive peat punch and so is a great entry whisky to the joys of Islay for someone just starting the Islay journey.
