They have been retained specifically because it is believed that the Laphroaig kiln produces a more creosote-like phenolic character than the malt the distillery receives from the Port Ellen maltings. Certainly, a tarry iodine note is one of the signatures of the spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe odd number of stills includes a spirit still which is double the size of its neighbours. As this produces a different character new make it is always blended in with those from the smaller ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very long fore shot run means there are less estery notes in the new make, while a deeper cut means that heavier phenolics are captured compared to Ardbeg and Lagavulin. Its distinct sweet note therefore comes from the preferred cask type used – ex-Bourbon barrels. These, the distillery says, became the norm at Laphroaig post-Prohibition when Ian Hunter began travelling to the US. The effect of this type of oak is showcased in the Quarter Cask release where a vatting of younger Laphroaigs is finished in small casks. Some Sherry casks are in the inventory and are mostly used for longer-term maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e54% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laphroaig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55673237471557,"sku":"LAP14DT1991SC2025","price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/Laphroaig14YearOld2011DuncanTaylorOctaveSingleSherryOctaveCask_56427997DeadlySins_Wrath_AustriaExclusiveIslaySingleMaltScotchWhisky_2025_70cl1.jpg?v=1758112875","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/laphroaig-14-year-old-2011-duncan-taylor-octave-single-sherry-octave-cask-5642799-7-deadly-sins-wrath-austria-exclusive-islay-single-malt-scotch-whisky-2025-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
