About

Laphroaig 1996 Cask Collection is a single malt whisky hailing from the renowned Laphroaig distillery, located on the rugged shores of Islay, Scotland. This particular expression has been aged for 12 years, allowing it to develop a rich character while retaining the distillery's signature peat influence. On the palate, this whisky offers intense flavors of smoky peat, complemented by notes of seaweed and brine, characteristic of its coastal origin. The high ABV of 60.30% adds a bold punch, enhancing the complexity with hints of vanilla and tropical fruit. Matured in select casks, the whisky showcases a balance between the maritime elements and the sweetness from the wood, creating a harmonious tasting experience.
