About this bottle
Laphroaig’s Laphroaig 38 Year Old Archive Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a single malt Scotch whisky from Scotland in our whiskey range. It is bottled at 41.3% ABV, carrying a 38-year age statement, in a 700 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Beautifully spicy with a mixture of dried fruits, raisins and dates, with caramelised orange peel and cherry blossom undertones and a faint whiff of fresh tobacco. Adding water reveals heightened spiced orange notes and a gentle smouldering campfire; on the palate: Smooth and complex, initially with dried apricots and sultanas with a salted caramel creaminess. A spiciness remains – like crystallised ginger, cloves and a touch of aniseed; finish: The peat gives a peppery sensation in the mouth along with an oily texture, which is well balanced by the sweetness.

Serving & pairing
Serve neat with a few drops of water to open the aromas. Lighter styles suit smoked salmon and shortbread; peated styles suit blue cheese and oysters.
Single malt or blended Scotch?
Single malt means one distillery, 100% malted barley, pot stills. Blended Scotch mixes malt whisky from several distilleries with lighter grain whisky, aiming for consistency and approachability. Blended malt (no grain whisky) sits between the two. Neither is inherently better; single malts show one distillery’s character while good blends show balance.
