Description and specs

Our original expression. Laphroaig 10 is the foundation of all our whisky created to bottle the nature of Islay. Expect a big peaty slap, hints of seaweed and a surprising sweetness.?

Laphroaig 10 is the definitive Islay peated single malt, distilled following traditions laid over the last 200 years by passionate master distillers. It s a staple for connoisseurs and a peaty rite of passage. ?Its unique flavour profile is conjured from malted barley which is first cold-smoked over peat fires, like only a handful of distilleries.

The grain is then dried over those same fires and tossed on our malting floor facing out to sea. It spends the next 10 years in ex-Bourbon barrels. Because a full decade is what it takes to create our full-bodied 10 year old whisky with bold smoky flavour, notes of salty seaweed, and a lingering sweetness.? ? Sip neat or over ice. Either way, you ll be drawn in by its quintessential Islay charm.?

Tasting Notes:

Colour: The sparkling gold appearance, natural colour and narrow trails on the glass all signal rich character.

Nose: Peat smoke, seaweed scent and a ‘medicinal’ essence hit the nose with a hint of sweetness.

Palate: Surprising sweetness with hints of salt and layers of peatiness. ?

Finish: Long and lingering. Wait for the sweet seaweed afterglow. ?

“…This is indisputably, a classic whisky. The favourite of Prince Charles apparently: he will make a wise king” – Jim Murray, Whisky Bible 2020
