Last seen at: The Whisky Exchange

A 1968 Scotch whisky from Laphroaig. This 16 year old bottling was released by Sestante and is a fine example of the Islay distillery. The bottling strength of this whisky is 40% which is at the lower end of the scale for whiskies. Although these days many consumers are pushing for producers to bottle closer to 43% or 46% there are still some fine lower strength whiskies.

Laphroaig 10 Year Old

The Laffie 10 is such a classic that I do not have to make any kind of introduction, right? This one was bottled in 2013. It should be present in every cabinet, actually.
