Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep amber with a distinctive pinkish-purple hue from port pipes; rich legs
Nose
Port meets peat — dark berry fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry, plum) from the port casks interweave with Laphroaig medicinal smoke, iodine, and brine. Chocolate, dark cherry, and maritime air. The name means brother in Norse — a nod to Islays Viking heritage
Palate
Rich and fruity for a Laphroaig. Port pipe influence delivers dark berry sweetness, plum, dark cherry, and chocolate that overlay the signature medicinal peat. Sea salt, iodine, and smoked meat underneath. A wine-lovers entry point to Laphroaig
Finish
Long finish with dark fruit and peat smoke alternating. Berry sweetness fades to medicinal iodine and maritime salt. Port influence makes this one of the most approachable heavy-peat whiskies available. Travel retail exclusive
