Whisky

Beam Global Spirits & Wine is providing whisky aficionados two new limited-edition single malt bottlings for their collection – Laphroaig 25 Year Old and Ardmore 30 Year Old. The Laphroaig is the extraordinary result of 25 years of aging in the finest Oloroso Sherry and American Oak casks. The whisky is a uncommon combination of bold peat flavor spiced with sweet sherry notes and rich oaky undertones. It is bottled at cask strength and priced at $499.99 per bottle. The Ardmore 30 is crafted at the only Highland distillery that has consistently peated its barley since its origination.

The whisky “weaves bold smoky flavor notes historically associated only with Islay malts into the rich Highland malt experience.” Aged in former bourbon barrels, it reveals a distinguishing finish and rich, complex flavor. There are only 1,428 bottles of this exclusive Scotch, each separately numbered that are available at a suggested retail price of $449.99.
