Product Information
Laphroaig 10 is the definitive Islay peated single malt, crafted from tradition laid over 200 years by generations of passionate master distillers. Its unique, and sometimes divisive, flavour profile captures the very nature of Islay. Every bottle begins with malted barley that’s first cold-smoked and then dried over peat fires, which is a specialised technique used only by a handful of distilleries. This signature single malt then spends the next 10 years in ex-Bourbon barrels where it reaches its full-bodied character, with a bold smokiness and hints of salty seaweed and lingering sweetness.
Tasting Notes by Laphroaig:
Nose: Sweet apples and caramelised pastry, with cereal, tanned leather and vanilla, lifted by Islay peat smoke.
Palate: Vanilla and sea salt intermingled with freshly ground black pepper, pork crackling and savoury peat.
Finish: Gentle spice, charred oak and smoked mackerel carried on an oily mouthfeel.
•Best served neat, poured over ice, with a mixer or in a cocktail, or alongside tasting notes to show the taste and depth of the whisky.
•A fine crystal snifter is the ideal glass for Laphroaig 10 Year Old; to be able to see the colour, smell the aroma, and absorb the full taste of the whisky.
