The Archive Collection

Vintage 1985 aged 36 years | bottled 2022

Guided by boundless heart, passion and Vigour, Laphroaig has always forged its own distinct path in an Endeavour to create remarkable whiskies. The archive collection pays homage to this commitment, showcasing how intriguing our aged whiskies can be. The laphroaig archive collection: 36 year old is the first in a series of aged whiskies that uniquely capture the full range of our single malt's extraordinary depth and character. A truly rare, cask strength whisky promising a broad spectrum of flavours and aromas, this single malt brings a new dimension to the unmistakable flavour of Laphroaig.

Matured in ex-bourbon American oak casks, before resting in a second fill oloroso hogshead, layers of subtle, complex depth shape this powerfully characterful Laphroaig, slowly revealing unexpected notes of tropical fruit beneath our signature style. From honey sweet aromas punctuated with creamy dark toffee and contrasting sage and lLish rounded off with peat and salt.

Our master blender's skill ensures that the peat and smokiness of a 36 year old is preserved, and enhanced by age, striking the optimal balance of flavour to make for a composed and refined taste experience. Limited release of 400 bottles.
