Intense peat smoke meets rich American oak sweetness
Double-matured in smaller quarter casks, this powerful Islay single malt offers an intensified interaction with the American oak. The result is a brilliant marriage of Laphroaig's signature medicinal peat smoke with a surprising, gentle sweetness.
Shake the blended Scotch, lemon juice, and honey-ginger syrup with ice. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube, then gently float the Laphroaig on top.

Founded in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston, Laphroaig has long been revered as one of the most richly flavored of all Scotch whiskies. As the only single malt Scotch to bear the Royal Warrant of the Prince of Wales, it remains a testament to traditional floor maltings and cold-smoking peat kilns.
The legendary Laphroaig distillery & rickhouse is situated on the rugged South Coast of Islay, where it has stood since 1815. By reviving the 19th-century practice of using smaller quarter casks, they increase oak contact by sixty percent to accelerate the aging process naturally.
