Laphroaig 15-Year-Old Review
For about 25 extra bucks you get five more years of age compared to the flagship Laphroaig 10-Year-Old and those years are well worth it; the more aggressive peat notes are sanded down to something a little quieter and relaxed. There are maritime notes on the palate, a kiss of peaches ‘n’ cream, and a slightly sweet, oaky finish.
