Tasting notes

Laphroaig 10 is the definitive Islay peated single malt, distilled following traditions laid over the last 200 years by passionate master distillers. It’s a staple for connoisseurs and a peaty rite of passage. ​Its unique flavour profile is conjured from malted barley which is first cold-smoked over peat fires, like only a handful of distilleries. The grain is then dried over those same fires and tossed on our malting floor facing out to sea. It spends the next 10 years in ex-Bourbon barrels. Because a full decade is what it takes to create our full-bodied 10 year old whisky with bold smoky flavour, notes of salty seaweed, and a lingering sweetness.​ ​ Sip neat or over ice. Either way, you’ll be drawn in by its quintessential Islay charm.​

About this whisky

Laphroaig 10 Year Old is a single malt Scotch whisky that is renowned for its smoky, peaty flavour. This whisky is produced on the Isle of Islay, which is known for its rugged coastline and wild, untamed landscape. The distillery was founded in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston, and has been producing whisky ever since.

The taste profile of Laphroaig 10 Year Old is complex and layered, with notes of smoke, peat, and seaweed. The smokiness comes from the peat that is used to dry the malted barley, which is then distilled and aged in oak casks for a minimum of 10 years. The result is a whisky that is rich and full-bodied, with a long, lingering finish.

The history of Laphroaig is steeped in tradition and heritage. The distillery has been owned by the same family for over 200 years, and the whisky is still produced using the same methods that were used in the 19th century. The water used in the production of Laphroaig comes from the Kilbride stream, which flows through the peat bogs of Islay, giving the whisky its distinctive flavour.

Laphroaig 10 Year Old is best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to release the full flavour and aroma. It pairs well with strong, salty cheeses, smoked salmon, and dark chocolate. The smoky, peaty flavour of the whisky is perfect for sipping on a cold winter's night, or for enjoying with friends around a campfire.

In conclusion, Laphroaig 10 Year Old is a whisky that is steeped in tradition and heritage, with a complex and layered taste profile that is sure to delight whisky lovers. Whether you are a seasoned whisky connoisseur or a newcomer to the world of single malts, Laphroaig 10 Year Old is a whisky that is not to be missed.
