Laphroaig Cask Strength Batch 011 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old
In stock
Laphroaig 10 year old cask strength has all the classic character of the distillery. Iodine, sea salt, pepper, and of course peat smoke. Look past this and you'll find fruit a plenty (with citrus and stone fruits particularly coming to the fore with a touch of water). There's also sweet vanilla and butterscotch from the oak which gives this expression a beautiful texture and rich depth of flavour.
Matured in refill American oak casks and bottled at the powerful ABV of 56.8%.
Often described as the bottling that comes closest to the Laphroaig style of old, this is Laphroaig as it should be.
Emphatic, full bodied and utterly unforgettable!

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with coppery-gold highlights and a rich, honeyed bronze sheen.
Nose
Iodine, sea salt and pepper ride a wave of peat smoke. With a splash of water, citrus zest and stone fruits unfold, while vanilla and butterscotch from the oak add sweetness and depth to a bold, unmistakable Laphroaig nose.
Palate
Powerful, coastal, peaty on the palate, with iodine, sea salt and pepper lifting the smoke. Bright citrus and stone fruits emerge with a touch of water, while vanilla and butterscotch from the oak lend a creamy, textured richness. Full-bodied, emphatic and lingering, finishing with warming depth.
Finish
Long, maritime and powerfully peaty, with iodine and sea-salt that linger into a peppery warmth. Vanilla and butterscotch echo from the oak as citrus and stone-fruit fade, leaving a rich, textured finish threaded with smoke and a lingering coastal sweetness.
