New: Laphroaig 25 Years / 27 Years // Tamdhu 50 Years // Kilkerran 8 Years

Laphroaig 25 Years // Laphroaig 27 Years

 

In the American TTB database two new labels appeared from Laphroaig.

First is the Laphroaig 27 Year Old, double matured in ex-bourbon barrels and refill quarter casks in warehouse n°1 and bottled at cask strength (52%). The other is the Laphroaig 25 Year Old, a mix of second-fill Oloroso sherry casks and American bourbon barrels, also bottled at cask strength (48,6%).

Update: see my Laphroaig 27 Years review

 

Tamdhu 50 Year Old

 

Even more expensive will be the Tamdhu 50 Year Old, a single cask release from a European oak first-fill sherry butt. That’s fifty years in a first-fill cask, and even at this age it’s 55,6%, wow! Only 100 bottles are available for around € 18.500. Again, wow…

 

Hazelburn 13 Years Oloroso / Kilkerran 8 Years Cask Strength

 

For people like you and me, we expect a new Hazelburn 13 Year Old, distilled October 2003 and aged in fresh and refill Oloroso casks. The outturn of 12.000 bottles were bottled at 47,1% earlier this month.

Also coming up: Kilkerran 8 Year Old Cask Strength, bottled at 56,2%. On sale from 12th April (in the UK) for around € 55.
