Laphroaig 10 years old - b. 1990s - 70cl

Description:
A rare opportunity to acquire a legendary "old-style" bottling of Laphroaig 10 Year Old. This specific edition was imported for the Italian market by Spirit S.p.A. - Genova, a hallmark of quality for whisky collectors. Bottled at 43% ABV, these vintage 10-year-olds are famous for a profile that differs significantly from modern releases, offering a much more intense, medicinal, and "funky" peat smoke.
Condition Report:
• Bottle: The glass is in excellent condition with no cracks or chips.
• Label: The labels show significant signs of aging, with some peeling and wear (see photos). This is common for paper labels of this era kept in varied storage conditions. All text, including the importer details and ABV/volume, remains legible.
• Fill Level: The fill level is Mid-Shoulder, which is fair for a bottle of this age, though it suggests some evaporation over the decades (natural "angel's share").
• Capsule/Seal: The original screw cap and Italian tax strip (Sere UTIF) are intact, though the paper seal shows some tearing/discoloration consistent with age.
