Laphroaig Cask Strength Batch 002 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany-tinged edges and a warm sunset-gold glow.

Nose

Bold peat smoke and medicinal iodine surge, with sea-salt and ash riding a maritime breeze. Underneath, caramelized oak, vanilla, and toasted almond from sherry cask lend warmth. Black pepper and citrus zest introduce a bright lift, while the cask-strength intensity sharpens the aroma into a fierce, refined Islay welcome.

Palate

Intense coastal peat and medicinal iodine surge across the palate, brushed with sea-salt freshness. Rich sherry-cask sweetness—dark fruit, treacle, and cocoa—threads through vanilla and spiced oak. The mouthfeel is full and oily, with a prodigious warming bite from the 58.3% ABV. A long, lingering finish shows peat, ash, and iodine, balanced by subtle sweetness and charred citrus zest.

Finish

Extremely long, peat-driven finish with medicinal iodine and coastal brine clinging to the palate. Smoke sweeps through warm oak sweetness—vanilla and caramel—while peppery spice lingers, leaving a charred warmth that fades to a smoky ember.
