Description
'Brodir' means brother in ancient Norse. This unique expression has been specially selected from the finest double matured Laphroaig. The first maturation is done in ex-bourbon barrels with a second in European oak casks seasoned with Ruby Port.
Tasting Notes

| Taste |
| Distillery: An initial honey sweetness on the palate becomes creamy and floral with a heavy saltiness that lasts. |
| Finish |
| Distillery: Long with heavy charcoal and citrus notes that linger. |
In the 19th century, Scotch whisky was frequently transported across the Glens in quarter casks. Laphroaig today breathes new life into the tradition. Still-maturing whisky from standard ex-bourbon barrels is transferred to quarter casks and left to rest in the warehouse just a stone's throw from the Atlantic shore. This increased oak contact creates a soft and velvety edge to compliment Laphroaig's distinctive peatiness.
