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.
