Laphroaig The 1815 Legacy Edition 700ml

The Tale Behind the Legacy: Founded in 1815, Laphroaig has been synonymous with the unparalleled quality of Islay single malts. The 1815 Legacy Edition is not just another whisky; it’s an homage to the founders, Ian Hunter and Donald & Alexander Johnston, whose vision and relentless pursuit of excellence crafted the Laphroaig legacy.

Islay’s Essence in Every Sip: Nestled on the rugged shores of Islay, Laphroaig’s distinct flavour is a manifestation of this remote Scottish island. The 1815 Legacy Edition captures Islay’s wild spirit, from its misty shores to its peat-rich lands, crafting a flavour so unique, it’s unmistakably Laphroaig.

Tasting Notes: A bright gold hue invites one to a symphony of aromas – layers of peat smoke, seashore mist, and hints of vibrant vanilla. The palate is indulged with the sweetness of ripe fruit, further layered with a delicate smokiness. The finish? Lingering, with a touch of Islay sea salt and mild spice.

Accolades: Laphroaig’s commitment to excellence has been recognised globally:

• Awarded 95/100 by Master Blender Sir Charles MacLean.
• Gold Medal at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, 2018.
• “A masterpiece from Islay”, quoted by Spirits Journalist, Laura Foster.

Pairings & Enjoyment: While it’s exceptional on its own, this whisky pairs brilliantly with blue cheese, dark chocolates, and even oysters. Dive deeper into the world of whisky pairings on our Oaks & Corks recommendations page.
