Laphroaig An Cuan Mòr 70cl, 48%

Description

Laphroaig An Cuan Mòr 70cl, 48% is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky from Laphroaig Distillery, released as a distinctive travel retail expression. The name An Cuan Mòr means “The Big Ocean” in Gaelic, reflecting the wild Atlantic influence and coastal character that define Laphroaig’s whisky.

This expression is initially matured in first-fill American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels before being finished in European oak casks. The Bourbon wood brings vanilla, caramel and soft sweetness, while the European oak adds spice, dried fruit and extra structure. Laphroaig’s famous medicinal peat smoke remains at the centre, supported by sea salt, black pepper, liquorice root, orange peel and earthy oak.

Bottled at 48%, An Cuan Mòr offers more strength and depth than many standard releases, while still remaining smooth and balanced. Complete with its original presentation tube shown in the supplied product image, this is a strong bottle for Laphroaig fans and collectors of travel retail Islay whisky.
