Laphroaig 31 Year Old / Bot.2022 / Kinship Islay Whisky – Rare Character at Remarkable Value

Discover the depth, warmth and unmistakable coastal character of Laphroaig 31 Year Old / Bot.2022 / Kinship Islay Whisky. Matured for more than three decades and bottled by Hunter Laing in 2022, this exceptional Islay single malt offers a memorable tasting experience for whisky lovers who appreciate genuine age, bold flavour and careful presentation.

Part of Hunter Laing’s Kinship series, this whisky celebrates the Islay Whisky Festival and captures the powerful personality for which Laphroaig is known. It is a bottle with presence: smoky, oily, savoury and richly layered, yet balanced by bright citrus notes and comforting fruit. For those looking to enjoy a well-aged Islay whisky without compromising on character, this expression offers impressive value in every glass.

Three Decades of Maturation, One Unforgettable Islay Experience

Thirty-one years of maturation bring a level of depth that younger whiskies cannot easily match. Over time, the spirit develops greater richness and complexity, allowing bold peat smoke to work alongside oak, spice, fruit and citrus. The result is a whisky that rewards slow enjoyment and reveals something new with every sip.

At 47.1% ABV, it has enough strength to retain its distinctive flavour while remaining approachable for an experienced whisky drinker. A small amount of water may open the whisky further, but it is equally suited to being enjoyed neat, allowing its full smoky and savoury profile to take centre stage.

Bold Aromas with a Rich, Layered Palate

The nose begins with classic Islay intensity. Hot tar and thick, oily peat create a powerful first impression, followed by the warmth of oak and clove. Orange oil adds a fresh, zesty lift, while savoury malt gives the aroma a grounded, satisfying character. It is robust without being one-dimensional, inviting you to take your time and explore its layers.

On the palate, baked apples bring gentle sweetness and rounded fruit notes. These mingle with rich peat and tar, creating the smoky, full-bodied character Laphroaig fans seek. The orange influence continues through the tasting, adding brightness and helping to balance the darker, heavier flavours. Every sip brings a combination of smoke, fruit, spice and malt that feels both powerful and carefully composed.
