Translated as Big Ocean, this unique single malt has been matured in first-fill-only ex-American white oak bourbon barrels and in European oak. The result is an extraordinary fusion of flavours, from the distillery unmistakable medicinal peat, tothe soft and spicy caramel tones of the American wood, to the big, rich “burnt apricot and raisin” of the European oak. Finally bottled and non chill-filtered, Laphroaig An Cuan Mor reflects figs flavours sublimated by lavender and oak tannins notes.
