Description

The Laphroaig 11 Years Old 1996 The Single Malts of Scotland Speciality Drinks Ltd 50 is a rare and highly sought-after Islay single malt from 1996. Bottled by Speciality Drinks Ltd as part of their acclaimed 'The Single Malts of Scotland' series, this expression was matured for 11 years before being released in 2007. This limited release of only 464 bottles is presented at a powerful cask strength of 57.5% ABV, capturing the raw, coastal energy of the distillery. The profile reveals a smoky and tarry aroma layered with pepper, malt, resin, and notes of the shore. On the palate, a complex interplay of malty sweetness meets ripe grapefruit, banana, and burnt almonds, culminating in a long, tarry, and herbal finish. A definitive Islay classic for collectors, offering an authentic glimpse into the bold distillation style of the 1990s.
