Laphroaig Brodir

A bold and distinctive single malt that fuses powerful Islay peat with sweet ruby port cask influence. Named after the Old Norse word for “brother,” Brodir reflects the whisky’s deep connection to both tradition and innovation.

The whisky begins its journey in ex-bourbon barrels, gaining a solid foundation of smoky, medicinal character. It is then finished in ruby port casks from Portugal, where it develops a rich and fruity depth that contrasts beautifully with its peated core.

On the nose, the peat is immediately present—earthy, coastal, and intense. But then come waves of red berries, vanilla fudge, dark chocolate, and a gentle floral lift. The port finish adds both sweetness and complexity.

The palate is full-bodied and vibrant. Smoky charcoal notes blend with blackcurrant, plum jam, and cinnamon spice. The ruby port cask brings a velvety texture and roundness, softening the typical Laphroaig sharpness without taking away its boldness.

Hints of sea salt and dried herbs keep it rooted in its Islay identity, while the fruit-forward finish adds a luxurious twist. Every sip offers something new, thanks to the layered, contrasting flavors. The finish is long, smoky, and slightly sweet. Expect fading smoke, oak spice, and lingering notes of dark fruit and toffee.

Laphroaig Brodir is for those who enjoy rich complexity, dramatic contrasts, and the unmistakable character of Islay—elevated by a port cask flourish.
