Laphroaig 10 Year Old Islay Single Malt Whisky
(750 mL) [WWA Best Scotch Islay Single Malt '22] [IWSC 95]

Notes from the Producer:

The original Laphroaig, distilled the same way today as when Ian Hunter invented it over 75 years ago. In making Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only on Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavour. Those enjoying the 10 Year Old will first notice the bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness. This full-bodied variant is the foundation of all Laphroaig expressions and comes with a long finish.

COLOUR : Full sparkling gold

NOSE: Huge smoke, seaweedy, "medicinal", with a hint of sweetness

BODY: Full bodied

PALATE: Suprising sweetness with hints of salt and layers of peatiness

FINISH: Lingering

Double Gold - SF World Spirits Competition 2022

Gold, 95 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2021

"Fresh and tinned peaches enrobed in golden honey with high notes of orange marmalade and ginger. Highly aromatic with toffee apple richness, white smoke and a spicy, peat-laden dry and enduring finish. Delicious."

92 Points - Whisky Advocate

"This expression offers an uncompromising note of brine-laden peat and iodine, with charcoal and sweeter fruit notes also present. The palate is equally out there, with old-fashioned fabric Band-Aids, bladderwrack seaweed, black pepper, smoldering peat, vanilla, caramel, and sweet oak. The finish is as big as everything else, with barbecue, iodine, and asphalt. Still a classic!"
