Matured in 1st-fill ex-bourbon barrels. It has that familiar Laphroaig peatiness, coupled with a rich vanilla flavor throughout (nose, palate, finish). This was offered as an Amazon-only 700ml bottling for Europe, and a limited-release 750ml bottling for the USA. I found this bottle at Grapes & Grains (Rensselaer NY) via nearbottle.com.
