25 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Bottle size

Any whiskey that is aged for a period time tends to take on a new balance of flavors. Whether it’s from perfectly chosen oak barrels or from the moist atmosphere of wood hewn rickhouses – each bottle almost has its own ‘coming of age’ story hidden betwixt every drop and swell. Laphroaig 25 year old Cask Strength single malt scotch celebrates this aging process in a way that will leave you feeling as if you yourself have meandered between the tall racks of old oak barrels along creaking the dust covered wood floors of just such a barrel house… as if you can feel the heavy notes of smoked wood on your skin, filling your sense with a kind of nostalgic awe. The nose is a scent both rich and warm with layers of old, washed up driftwood, salty sea soaked air and vintage raw rope over tones of sweet honeycomb and malt soaked beeswax. The taste intertwines along the tongue with tendrils of coastal ocean rock, rich smoke hued with muddy tar, and dark earthen treacle wrapped in seaweed and sweet sherry. Laphroaig 25 year old Cask Strength single malt melts into you for a finish that drifts over you like a gentle sea of cinnamon, black tar, and darkly ripened fruit. …

About the brand

Laphroaig is a highly-acclaimed brand of premium Islay single malt Scotch whisky produced by the Larphoraig Distillery, founded in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston. The brand has changed hands multiple times over the years beginning in the 1960s until it was purchased by Beam Suntory of Suntory Holdings in 2014. Laphroaig is recognized as producing some of the most deeply flavored Scotch whiskies on the market and is the only whisky to carry the Royal Warrant of the Prince of Wales, awarded in 1994. The brand offers a range of products including several very rare and expensive expressions such as their discontinued 18 year old iteration (last offered in 2015). Notably, Laphroaig is unlike many other blended Scotch makers in that it malts its own barley. The barley is finished in special kilns with over 205 years of seasoning – leaving a truly defining note that Laphroaig fans have come to know and crave.

Frootbat Reviews - What our customers say

Ratings & Reviews (3)

The shading is a rich golden similarly as you would anticipate that sherry should be with legs that quickly coat the glass. Sherry rules the nose alongside smoke ocean growth brackish water ready fruitiness and a trace of straw. The sense of taste is rich and smokey filling the mouth with the customary Laphroaig flavor yet much smoother than the standard thing more youthful contributions. The sherry pleasantness offset the peatiness consummately with the two flavors mixing so they keep each other in balance. The completion is medium long with the mouth staying smokey while the natural product pleasantness nuance blurs.
