Description

The original Laphroaig, distilled following traditions laid down by Ian Hunter over 75 years ago. In making Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only on Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavour. Those enjoying the 10 Year Old will first notice the bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness. This full-bodied variant is the foundation of all Laphroaig expressions and comes with a long finish. The world’s #1 selling Islay single malt Scotch whisky The most richly flavored of all Scotch whiskies Complex and unique flavor of Laphroaig due to our water, peat, and malted barley Smoke and oak sweetness Non-chill filtered expression that employs small casks, allowing the maturing spirit 30% more contact with wood. The increased oak influence imparts a special wood character to the spiirt Color: sparkling gold Nose: burning embers of peat in a crofter’s fireplace, hints of coconut and banana aromas Finish: incredibly long and dry Body: Full Palate: deep, complex and smoky, yet surprises the palate with a gentle sweetness Enjoyed neat or with a single ice cube
