92 / 100
This 25-year-old single cask Laphroaig brings a refined level of peat smoke that has matured beautifully. The burnt wood and charcoal notes on the palate are hit with a wave of sea salt and ash, creating a complex, expressive profile that remains balanced by the honeyed sweetness. It is a deep, smoky experience that lingers exactly as an Islay malt should.
