Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength December 2021 Batch 15 - 56.5% 70cl

Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength embodies our classic 10 Year Old with pronounced character and a 56.5% proof point.

This single malt ages in charred ex-Bourbon barrels for ten years before being bottled at natural cask strength.

Once removed from the barrel after a decade, the spirit is barrier-filtered to remove unwanted char particles. Then, this cask strength single malt goes straight to the bottle.

The result is a bracing, full-bodied 56.5% vol whisky delivering renowned smoke with a particular rugged character and depths of sweet and spicy flavour.

A dram poured neat is lively on the nose with hints of vanilla, pipe tobacco and leather while overwhelming the palate with toffee, fudge and cinnamon. Splashing in a couple drops of water draws out additional peat smoke and notes of sea salt.

Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength is the purest way to experience the taste created by the land, sea and air of Islay.

A powerful expression indeed!

Nose: The nuanced aroma reveals whiffs of sweet cereals, fresh oak and pipe tobacco with touches of leather, nutmeg and vanilla.

Palate: The Original Cask Strength is sweet and spicy with notes of vanilla, toffee and sea salt along with hints of cinnamon and pepper.

Finish: Long finish with lingering spice, oak tannins, iodine and sea salt.
