Laphroaig 25 Year Old 1998 Old & Rare Platinum is an extraordinary single malt Scotch whisky from the renowned Laphroaig Distillery on the rugged shores of Islay, Scotland. Distilled in 1998, this exceptional expression has been meticulously matured for 25 years in a refill hogshead before being bottled in November 2024 by the esteemed independent bottler Hunter Laing & Co. as part of their prestigious Old & Rare Platinum series. This limited-edition release epitomizes the quintessential character of Laphroaig, celebrated for its intensely peated and complex whiskies. The extended maturation in a refill hogshead allows the signature peat smoke to mellow and integrate harmoniously with nuanced flavors developed over a quarter-century. The result is a whisky of remarkable depth, balancing the distillery's iconic maritime and medicinal notes with layers of sweetness and subtle oak influence.
