Laphroaig Single Malt Scotch 28 Year Old Limited Edition...$699.99
44.4% ABV
Compare to $779.99 at Total Wine and More not STL (price checked 12/8/24)
The new release was aged in a variety of casks for 27 years before the vintages were blended and inserted into sherry casks for an additional 12 months. At 44% ABV, the distillery mentions notes of sweet Manuka honey, dried fruit, and liquorice which are balanced out with the well-known Islay notes of leather, thyme and rosemary. Toffee, burnt wood, umami, dried spice, and cedar. The dram is bound to be an unforgettable experience.
The price is very reasonable for such a monumental expression, especially since August saw the Laphroaig 1967 15-Year-Old Sherrywood sell at auction for $79,000. Sure, it was a bottle from the late, famed bottler, Silvano Samaroli, but seeing as this is one of the oldest expressions ever released by Laphroaig it is expected to be an instant favourite for whisky collectors.
