Bottled in February 2009 at a robust 57.8% ABV, without being diluted to standard drinking strength, Batch 001 marks the beginning of Laphroaig’s numbered Cask Strength releases, making it highly appealing to both enthusiasts and collectors of Islay whisky. Laphroaig is renowned for its bold character, defined by peat smoke, maritime influences, and medicinal notes. This cask-strength expression offers an exceptionally powerful and concentrated showcase of that classic distillery profile. Tasting notes from the time highlight intense peat smoke, pepper, salty liquorice, seaweed, and woody undertones, culminating in a long, dry, and smoky finish.
