MACALLAN 18YO 1996 70CL 40%

The 10 year is the original Laphroaig, because it is distilled in the same way as when Ian Hunter invented it over 75 years ago. It is the foundation of all other Laphroaig expressions.
During preparation, the malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only on the island of Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavor.
Those enjoying the 10 year old Laphroaig will first notice the bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness. This full-bodied variation is the foundation of all Laphroaig expressions and has a lingering finish.
In 2019 this whisky was also named best Scotch Single Malt of at least 10 years by Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.
