12-year-old

About

Laphroaig's 12-year-old is a classic expression that fully embraces the wild, smoky essence of Islay. This single malt captures the distillery's distinctive character with an intense combination of peaty smoke, iodised sea breeze, and charred oak. Beneath these powerful aromatics lie subtle notes of vanilla and roasted cereal grains. On the palate, a full-bodied and oily experience unfolds with pronounced medicinal and smoky tones. Honey and soft barrel notes provide balance, while vanilla, caramel, and dark chocolate add sweetness. Dried fruits and a peppery finish complete the profile. At 46% ABV, the robust alcohol is beautifully integrated, allowing you to enjoy this whisky neat without water.
