An unforgettable tasting experience: Laphroaig 28 Years Old
Laphroaig 28 Years Old – A world-class whisky
Laphroaig 28 Years Old is one of the most exquisite and mature whisky releases from the famous Islay distillery. Released in 2018 as part of Laphroaig's limited edition series, this bottle marks the culmination of almost three decades of ageing in a variety of cask types, including quarter casks, ex-bourbon casks and oloroso sherry butts.
In a world where older whisky releases are becoming rarer and more sought after, this 28-year-old stands out with its harmonious balance of deep complexity and Laphroaig's distinctive smoke profile.
Appearance and smell
The whisky has a beautiful bronze glow, evidence of many years of quiet maturation. The aroma is seductive and complex with notes of medicinal smoke, grilled dates, Manuka honey and a subtle licorice base. Herbs such as thyme and rosemary contribute fresh, green notes, which elegantly balance the intense smoky character.
Taste experience
The ripe sweetness is evident at first taste. Notes of baked pears, vanilla and salted caramel dance on the tongue, meeting with charred wood, marinated grilled meat and freshly ground pepper. It all ends with a lingering, sweet and peppery finish with notes of dried spices, cedar and the lingering Laphroaig smoke.
Closing and presentation
At 44.4% ABV, this whisky is rich and powerful, but never overpowering. It should be enjoyed neat or with a touch of water to unlock the deeper layers of flavour. The elegant copper-coloured presentation of the bottle makes it an ideal collector's item or a luxurious gift for the discerning whisky lover.
