An Cuan Mòr

About

An Cuan Mòr, meaning 'the great ocean,' is a tribute to the rugged Atlantic coastline beside the Laphroaig distillery. This Single Malt masterfully combines Islay's characteristic smoke with the soft, fruity nuances of European oak maturation. The result is a refined and balanced whisky that respects the iconic Laphroaig signature while delivering genuine complexity and character. The nose reveals dry fruit notes—peach and apricot—alongside cinnamon and straw-like cereal aromas. On the palate, lively spices including pepper and nutmeg blend harmoniously with substantial peat and saline maritime elements. Liquorice, red fruits, coal smoke, and oak tannins add layers of discovery. The finish brings big, smoky peat with pronounced sea salt and a warming, gingery spice that lingers impressively.
