A Rare Chapter in Islay’s Peated Legacy.
The Laphroaig 36 Year Old from The Archive Collection stands as a monumental expression of time, tradition, and mastery from one of Islay’s most iconic distilleries. Laid down in 1985, this extraordinary whisky was carefully matured in ex-bourbon barrels, allowing decades of slow aging to refine its famously smoky character into something profoundly complex and graceful.
Tasting Notes
The nose unveils waves of antique oak, honeyed smoke, and sea spray, followed by delicate layers of candied citrus, vanilla pod, and polished leather. On the palate, it delivers an intricate balance of peat embers, dried mango, heather, and salted caramel, with whispers of iodine and maritime breeze that pay homage to its coastal birthplace. The finish is long, mellow, and profoundly elegant, lingering with sweet smoke and aged oak warmth.
Distillery Legacy
Founded in 1815 on Islay’s rugged southern coast, Laphroaig is revered for its bold, medicinal peat character. The Archive Collection celebrates the distillery’s rarest and most mature casks—bottled in extremely limited numbers to honor the artistry of time.
A masterpiece of age and Islay heritage, Laphroaig 36 Year Old – The Archive Collection is a once-in-a-lifetime dram, where the power of peat meets the poetry of maturity.
