Laphroaig 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Nose: 

This opens on big, smoky muscular peat notes. There are spices, and liquorice, as well as a big dose of salt. This whisky has become slightly sweeter in recent years, and it appears beautifully on the nose, amidst the classic iodine/sticking plasters and cool wood smoke we love.

Palate:

 Seaweed-led, with a hint of vanilla ice cream and more than a whiff of notes from the first aid box (TCP, plasters etc). The oak is big, and muscles its way into the fore as you hold this whisky over your tongue. An upsurge of spices develop – cardamom/black pepper/chilli.

Finish: 

Big and drying, as the savoury, tarry notes build up with an iodine complexity.

Laphroaig's 10 Year Old Single Malt stands as the quintessential representation of the brand, showcasing a radiant golden hue. It embodies the hallmark attributes of Laphroaig – a captivating interplay of robust smoke and coastal seaweed notes, subtly complemented by a touch of sweetness. Unexpectedly, the palate presents a lavish texture, with delicate undercurrents of sweetness, entwined with intricate strata of saltiness and peatiness. These elements evolve harmoniously on the palate, persisting through the extended and parching finish.
