Released in 2015 to mark Laphroaig’s bicentenary, this special edition resurrects the much-loved 15-year-old in a refined, gentler style of Islay peat. Limited to 72,000 bottles worldwide and bottled at 43% ABV, it balances coastal smoke with citrus and soft vanilla—an elegant nod to a classic era of Laphroaig.

Laphroaig Distillery

Founded in 1815 on Islay’s rugged south coast, Laphroaig is famed for intensely peated single malts marked by maritime character—sea spray, iodine, and hearth smoke. Traditional practices like floor-malting a portion of their barley and maturing spirit in warehouses by the Atlantic continue to shape the distillery’s unmistakable profile.
