Laphroaig 12YO Refill Bourbon Barrel

Our first Laphroaig bottling and quite frankly a bit of a heartbreaker. Heartbreaking because it was one of those casks that had a mystery leak. Most of the contents were gone with no evidence of where the leak came from. POOF and the whisky was gone! Just one of those dastardly things that happens in whisky. Also heartbreaking because it's SO. DARN. TASTY. and there are only 83 bottles in the world.
