Bottled at the Bruichladdich distillery for The Syndicates. Cask number 9208. One of 113 bottles. 700ml. 45.8%. No box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single cask Laphroaig 1988 35-year-old Islay single malt whisky released by secretive Islay group The Syndicate in 2023. The Syndicate is a group of private individuals and whisky industry insiders based on Islay, and while they are not exactly prolific bottlers - at the time of writing in 2026 Whiskybase lists just 30 releases by the group since 1988 - every single whisky they release has been of exceptional quality. This 35-year-old Laphroaig is a case in point: this is the eighth release by The Syndicate from a carefully-stewarded batch of 1988 vintage casks of Laphroaig, the first of which appeared as a 12-year-old in 2000. Cask 9208 is a glorious dram, showing elegant smoke and delicious Laphroaig fruitiness, but sadly yielded just 113 bottles at its natural cask strength of 45.8%, which is equivalent to 80-proof in the old imperial measures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Whisky-Online Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57997579026813,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Laphroaig 1988-2023 - 35 Year Old - The Syndicates - Single Cask 9208-Lot Id:0226-359","offer_id":57997579092349,"sku":"0226-359","price":725.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/0036\/4446\/files\/0226-359-1_ab3ee3d4-646f-45b3-88e7-94dc99194da9.jpg?v=1775074137","url":"https:\/\/whisky-onlineauctions.com\/products\/laphroaig-1988-2023-35-year-old-the-syndicates-single-cask-9208-lot-id-0226-359","provider":"Whisky-Online Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
