Laphroaig 27 years 1981 Of. Oloroso Sherry Casks - One of 736 - bottled 2008

Cuvée presentation

A Laphroaig distilled in 1981 and bottled at cask strength in 2008 after 27 years of maturation in Oloroso sherry casks. This is a blend of five casks selected by Master Blender Robert Hicks and Distillery Manager John Campbell. These very sherry influenced Laphroaigs have a special place in the heart of the distillery’’s fans. This bottle of Laphroaig, with its impressive colour, unfurls a remarkably well-constructed palate of fruity, floral and spicy aromas with flavours that blend perfectly with the attitude of the wild peat. Last, but certainly not least, are the magnificent tawny hues of the nostalgic notes that punctuate the tasting. A 1980 the same age also exists, bottled for La Maison du Whisky. A limited edition of 736 bottles.

Few distilleries have inspired as much excitement among collectors as Laphroaig, and this with just a single expression of its single malt, the Laphroaig 10 Year Old. Nonetheless, since the end of WWII, it has released a large number of bottlings, each varying from one market to the next. Its heavily peated style has developed according to the barrels used for maturation (sherry/bourbon). Its ABV, varying from 40% to 60% for its cask strength bottlings, favours one characteristic of its profile over another. And yet, it is still the Laphroaig 10 Year Old and has been for 70 years and counting. This expression forms a collection of its own thanks to its numerous importers and labels, including Filippi Fausto to Bonfanti, Cinzano, R.H.Elsbach & Co and Carlton Import. Laphroaig is, however, also renowned for its outstanding vintages 1960, 1974, 1976, 1977, 1980 and 1981 and versions aged 15 - 40 years. All in own, a world of its own.
