Laphroaig 10 years is one of the most recognizable and beloved Islay single malt whiskies. Since 1815, the distillery has been producing whisky with a distinctive character, dominated by peat smoke and maritime influences. This ten-year-old expression is the core of the Laphroaig range and delivers an intense smoky experience that appeals to both whisky connoisseurs and lovers of bold flavors.

Tasting Notes

Nose

A bold and immediate burst of peat smoke rises from the glass, accompanied by aromas of seaweed, iodine, and a touch of campfire embers. Beneath the smoke, subtle hints of vanilla, honey, and a medicinal note typical of Laphroaig emerge.

Taste

The first sip is full-bodied and smoky, with an intense salty and mineral undertone. Sweet notes of caramel and vanilla balance out the spicy hints of white pepper and oak. The peat remains dominant, with a slight touch of citrus adding a fresh dimension.

Finish

Long and warming, with lingering smokiness that gradually fades into licorice, spices, and a subtle hint of salted caramel. The characteristic maritime notes linger, making this whisky an unforgettable experience.

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.
