Laphroaig 30 Year Old

From Scotland’s famed Isle of Islay comes Laphroaig, a distillery established in 1815 on the island’s southern coast. Known for its powerful and uncompromisingly peated style, Laphroaig has earned a place among the world’s most distinctive single malts. Over its two centuries of production, the distillery has remained committed to traditional methods, crafting whiskies that embody the maritime climate, rugged landscape, and the bold spirit of Islay. The 30 Year Old expression represents the pinnacle of Laphroaig’s artistry, the result of three decades of patient maturation in carefully selected casks.

Wine Description
The Laphroaig 30 Year Old displays a glowing amber colour, developed over decades in American oak barrels and European oak sherry casks. The nose opens with a refined complexity, interlacing rich dried fruits, honeyed malt, and citrus zest with the distillery’s hallmark medicinal peat and delicate iodine. Subtle layers of cedarwood, tobacco, and sea spray add further intrigue. On the palate, the whisky is silken yet robust, offering flavours of orchard fruit, dark chocolate, and savoury cured meats, all wrapped in smoky, herbal depth. The body is exceptionally balanced, with sweetness, spice, and peat in perfect harmony. The finish is long and graceful, carrying sweet spice, maritime salinity, and a fading wisp of warm peat smoke.

Food Pairing
Ideal alongside smoked venison, seared scallops, or rich duck confit, where the dish’s savoury richness complements the whisky’s deep complexity and subtle sweetness. Together, they create an unforgettable dining experience.
