Laphroaig recently announced a major change to its line of whiskies -- Prince Charles's favorite tipple is being replaced. The last 15 year olds are going quickly to be replaced soon with an 18 year old expression. No word from Beam Global Spirits when the first bottles will arrive in the US. Here's John Campbell's complete announcement:
Laphroaig 18 year old
This is a fantastic new expression that is replacing our venerable 15 Year Old. It is not without shedding a tear or two that I wave goodbye to our multi award winning "15". I have been to our warehouse in Glasgow and retrieved the last 65 bottles. For the collectors amongst you I have made 30 available for "Friends" on a first come first served basis. But frankly the new "18" has a flavour to behold. Not only has it enjoyed the extra 3years sleep, we have bottled it at the higher strength of 48% ABV and thus avoided the chill filtering process. It is absolutely delicious and I hope to have some of the first bottling available for you in a month or two.
