It'd be fascinating if a few barrels of Laphroaig were sent someplace warm, but equally as coastal for aging to see how it changes the tastes.

Too much effort and money, probably, especially since they have a good spot in the market right now.

However, Jefferson's Ocean [1] whiskey is an experiment where Jefferson's took 68 bourbons aged 6-8 years, blended them together, threw the barrels onto a ship, and sent it on a 6 month sea voyage. Apparently, it yielded some interesting, tasty bourbon. I haven't had it, I havent even seen it in person. But be on the look out, i guess.

I've had it. It's amazing and well worth the price. Hell, well worth a significantly higher price.

I imagine in Laphroaig case, if you already have a pipeline going strong you care less about accelerating.
