Laphroaig 30 Year 2024 Release is a rare and extraordinary limited edition from the iconic Islay distillery an expression of what 30 years of Port Ellen Islay maturation does to the characteristic Laphroaig peat smoke single malt: a luminous golden amber of exquisite complexity and grace, with peaty smoke and iodine intertwining with dried figs, candied orange peel, rich vanilla custard, oak spiciness, leather, and subtle sea saltiness, with dark chocolate and roasted nuts emerging as it unfolds.

Laphroaig Distillery on the southern shore of Islay has been producing its characteristically intensely peated single malt since 1815. At 30 years, the trademark peat smoke character is balanced by the extraordinary refinement and complexity that three decades of maturation in carefully chosen casks produces the result demonstrating Laphroaigs unmatched ability to gracefully age.
