LAPHROAIG 25 YEAR OLD and ARDMORE 3O YEAR OLD

These two new limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky bottlings are now available from Beam Global Spirits & Wine.  Aged 25 years in Oloroso Sherry and American Oak casks the Laphroaig whisky is a combination of bold peat flavor spiced with sweet sherry notes and rich oaky undertones.  Creamy, smooth, full of character and complexity, the marriage of woods intertwines to form a perfectly balanced unity.  Bottled in 2OO8 at cask strength (51.2% ABV), suggested retail is $499.99.
Crafted from the only Highland distillery that has consistently peated its barley since its inception, the Ardmore 3O Year Old weaves bold smoky flavor notes historically associated only with Islay malts into the rich Highland malt experience.  Aged in former bourbon barrels and handmade quarter casks, the Ardmore has a distinctive finish and rich, complex flavor.  Only 1428 bottles, each individually numbered, are available.  Suggested retail price is $449.99.
