Laphroaig 15 year old was first created 30 years ago. Barrels were individually selected for their particularly mellow rounded flavour, then batch bottled at the higher export strength of 43% ABV. The resulting flavour soon became a firm favourite winning many awards. Its highlight was being chosen for the famous ‘Erskine Charity Bottling’ in 2000 when 270 bottles were drawn from a single 15 year old cask signed by The Prince of Wales for this charity of which he is a patron.

The 200th Anniversary edition has been created in exactly the same way as the original. The Laphroaig distillery very much hope it will be a delight both to those who have enjoyed it in the past and for many of you for whom it will be the first opportunity.

Only 100 Cases have been released to Hong Kong and then it will be gone like the original 15 year variant, leaving us wanting more…maybe in another 50 years or so…
