Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1990's Bottling) 10 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a warm copper sheen and a hint of mahogany at the rim.

Nose

An assertive plume of peat smoke swirls with medicinal iodine and sea-salted brine. Coastal minerals and charry ash unfold beneath, while vanilla bean, oak and a whisper of citrus lift the aroma, brightening the smoky core.

Palate

Bold peat and medicinal notes envelop the palate, with iodine and sea-salt brine cutting through the smoke. Subtle sweetness surfaces as caramel, dried fruit and vanilla mingle with oak. Peppery spice warms the mid-palate, finishing long and maritime—a whisper of charred barley and lingering coastal smoke.

Finish

An enduring, peat-forward finish carries a coastal iodine breeze and briny lift. Smoke lingers with a maritime bite, while subtle vanilla and oak sweetness fold in, gradually fading to a warm, drying glow that leaves a delicate whisper of smoke on the back of the palate.
