Beam Suntory is extending its selection of limited edition Scotch whiskies to celebrate Laphroaig’s 200^th anniversary with the launch of a 32-year-old variant costing US$1,200.

Beam Suntory is set to launch a 32-year-old Scotch whisky from its Laphroaig distillery

Described as an “extremely rare bottling”, Laphroaig 32 Year Old will be exclusively available in the US for this year only.

Aged in ex-Oloroso Sherry casks for 32 years, the whisky is said to “rounded character and exceptional smoothness”.

Its launch follows that of Laphroaig 16 Year Old, which was released in global travel retail this month as part of the distillery’s 200^th anniversary celebrations.

Also to mark the bicentenary, brand-owner Beam Suntory re-released the Laphroaig 15 Year Old, which was first created 30 years ago.

Bottled at 46.7% abv, Laphroaig 32 Year Old will launch in the US this autumn.
