The Laphroaig 15 Year Old is back in the core range for good, and as a self-confessed Laphroaig fanboy, this is the distillery I have bought more bottles from than any other. Supposedly King Charles’s favourite dram, it is not a bottle I ever expected to be standing in front of in 2026. But here we are, so grab a dram and let me tell you whether this comeback lives up to the hype. This is exactly how the whole core range should hold up. Would you rather buy a bottle with an age statement or a fancy name, and what for you is the very best Laphroaig?
