Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
Laphroaig 7 Year Old 2018 Lady of the Glen Samhain is a bold Islay single malt Scotch whisky, independently bottled by Lady of the Glen for its atmospheric Samhain Series. Distilled in 2018 and bottled in 2026, this 7 year old Laphroaig was matured in a single refill barrel, cask #66, yielding just 137 bottles at a powerful 58.6% ABV. Laphroaig is renowned for its intense peat smoke, maritime salinity and distinctive medicinal character, and maturation in a refill barrel allows that unmistakable Islay spirit to remain firmly at the forefront. Expect layers of seaweed, iodine, bonfire smoke and citrus alongside vanilla, sweet malt and gentle oak. Bottled at high strength, this is a vivid and uncompromising expression of youthful Laphroaig. This release forms part of the Lady of the Glen Samhain Series, where each whisky is paired with a tale inspired by Scottish folklore and local legend. The evocative labels are created by Edinburgh-based artist and designer Steven Shand, whose intricate artwork and storytelling draw on more than 15 years of experience in the Scottish whisky industry. Together, the whisky and artwork capture the haunting, atmospheric spirit of Samhain and Scotland’s rich cultural past.
