Laphroaig 30 Year Old 2024 Release

Laphroaig 30 Year Old 2024 Release is an exceptional Islay single malt that showcases the remarkable depth and refinement achieved through three decades of maturation. Aged in a combination of American oak barrels and European oak Sherry casks, this distinguished expression balances Laphroaig's signature peat smoke with layers of citrus zest, vanilla custard, rich toffee and delicate herbal spice. Bottled at 45.8% ABV, it offers an elegant, complex character with a lingering smoky finish, marking the inaugural release in Laphroaig's annual 30-year-old collection.

Food Pairing: Smoked salmon, roasted lamb, aged Manchego, grilled scallops, dark chocolate or salted caramel desserts.

Tasting Notes: Citrus zest, vanilla custard, treacle toffee, delicate herbs, white pepper and smouldering peat smoke.

Nose: Bright orange and lemon peel mingle with creamy vanilla, rich toffee and subtle coastal smoke.

Palate: Elegant and layered, with bergamot, sweet pastries, vanilla cream, fresh thyme and gentle white pepper, balanced by refined oak and soft peat.

Finish: Long and complex, with lingering campfire embers, delicate citrus, warming spice and gentle maritime smoke.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a Glencairn glass, allowing several minutes for the aromas to develop. A few drops of water may reveal additional sweetness and soften the oak and smoke.
