- Cask maturation: First-fill bourbon barrels and new European oak hogsheads

- Malt: Dried over peat in the Laphroaig way; part of the malt comes from the distillery’s own floor maltings
Profile: What Makes Laphroaig The Cask Legacy Special
Laphroaig was founded in 1815 by the brothers Alexander and Donald Johnston on the south coast of the Isle of Islay. Donald later took over the distillery on his own, laying the foundation for a whisky that, like few others, stands for peat smoke, iodine and proximity to the sea. The soft water comes from the Kilbride stream; the peat for drying the barley is cut on Islay. Laphroaig The Cask Legacy celebrates exactly that founding year.
The single malt is inspired by the robust and edgy whiskies of that time, when peat smoke and cask were less tamed than today. It first appeared in travel retail in April 2017 and matured in first-fill bourbon barrels as well as new European oak hogsheads. Compared side by side with the 10 Year Old it is softer and sweeter on the nose but slightly smokier and fuller on the palate – and the medicinal, smoky Laphroaig fingerprint remains from the first to the last sip.
Anyone who knows Laphroaig will recognise the signature at once: plenty of smoke, dark fruit, nuts – plus a particular emphasis on wood aromas right through to the finish.
Tasting Notes: What Laphroaig The Cask Legacy Tastes Like
- Nose: Burnt apricots and raisins, old leather and damp charcoal; intense smoke dominates at first, later menthol and mint, light berries and freshly cut oak join in
- Palate: Peat smoke meets soft, spicy oak notes and caramelised dark fruit – then nutty tones and juicy dried fruit follow, plus cinnamon-spiced apricots, marmalade and brown sugar as well as the typical medicinal note
- Finish: Long, with plenty of smoke, lingering nuts and peat and oiled woods

Genuss pur, ohne Schnörkel, schmeckt, wie er soll, viel Rauch im Abgang, die öligen Hölzer sind aus meiner Sicht nicht so präsent - klare Empfehlung
