Laphroaig 10 years Sherry Oak Finish

Laphroaig 10 Years Sherry Oak Finish is a compelling twist on the classic 10-year-old Islay whisky. While it retains its signature peat smoke and briny core, the Oloroso sherry cask finish introduces a rich, sweet dimension. This fusion creates a whisky that is both powerful and layered – the perfect balance between traditional smoky Islay and refined sherry character. Initially matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in European oak Oloroso sherry casks, it delivers a bold yet elegant profile. A must-try for lovers of smoke with a touch of sweetness.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich peat smoke blended with raisins, dates, leather, toasted nuts and a hint of sea salt.

Palate

Full-bodied and oily. Intense smoke meets dark chocolate, raisins, cinnamon, clove, and salted caramel. Complex and well-balanced.

Finish

Long and warming with smoky wood, dried fruits and gentle spices lingering.

Laphroaig Distillery

Laphroaig Distillery is located on the south coast of the island of Islay, right on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Founded in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston, Laphroaig has a long and rich history of producing some of the most distinctive and beloved Islay whiskies.

A specific characteristic of Laphroaig is its distinct peat smoke and medicinal flavour, which gives the whiskies their unique and recognisable character. The distillery traditionally uses copper pot stills and dries the barley over peat fire, creating the distinctive smoke and iodine aromas. Laphroaig whiskies are mainly matured in ex-bourbon casks, which contributes to the balance of sweet and smoky flavours.

Laphroaig whiskies are famous for their complex flavour profile, with notes of seaweed, medicinal smoke, salt, and a subtle sweetness. The robust and powerful flavour, combined with a long, warm finish, makes Laphroaig a favourite among heavily peated whisky lovers. Its unique location, traditional production methods and distinctive flavour profile make Laphroaig an iconic name in the world of single malt whisky.

Laphroaig Distillery stands in a sheltered bay on the southern coast of Islay, between Port Ellen and Lagavulin. The distillery was founded in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston. The Johnston family remained closely involved with the business for more than a century. An important period began under Ian Hunter, the last Johnston to lead Laphroaig. He modernised the distillery and encouraged the use of American ex-bourbon casks. After his death in 1954, Laphroaig passed to Bessie Williamson, who further developed the brand internationally and became a pioneering figure in Scotch whisky.

Laphroaig is renowned for one of Islay’s most distinctive house styles. Part of the barley is still processed on traditional malting floors and smoked over locally cut peat. Water comes from the Kilbride Stream, while slow distillation and a carefully selected middle cut help shape the characterful spirit. The whisky combines powerful peat smoke with notes of iodine, tar, seaweed, herbs, vanilla and a recognisable medicinal freshness. This unconventional balance has made Laphroaig a favourite among enthusiasts of intensely smoky Islay single malt whisky.
