If you mean the 2011 Laphroaig 25 cask strength then i can recommend it without hesitation, it is outstanding. Has some oloroso sherry cask Laphroaig in it and some bourbon cask matured Laphroaig.

Yes thats the one. Bit cheeky but how much did you pay?

I have had a bottle of the Laphroaig 25 Cask Strength, with its sherry cask influence and its bottling strength for me makes it superior to the standard Laphroaig 25 40% abv offering which is superb also but the bottling strength and addition of sherry matured whisky does it for me.

I've had some older Laphroaigs 20yo + at the SMWS not all have been that great in my opinion. None bad but I still think that a islay is more often than not better at a younger age
