Laphroaig 10 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

Laphroaig's unwavering focus on peat and its daringly bold expressions have solidified its place as an iconic name among whisky connoisseurs who seek the ultimate Islay peated experience. Others can be deceiving - I have a bottle of Ledaig, the Tobermory peated expression, which smells like creme brulee and mashed potato on the nose - not a hint of peat until it hits the tongue. 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).

Laphroaig 10 gets its distinctive taste from the natural features of Islay, the remote and rugged island off the West Coast of Scotland where the whisky is made.This is a truly classic single malt Scotch whisky, made from malted barley which is first cold-smoked and then dried over a peat fire. Our packaging is eco-conscious: 100% recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable internal fittings made from recycled materials. Filled with a pungent, earthy aroma, the sweet nuttiness of barley and the delicate heathery perfume of Islay's streams.

This peated whisky is renowned for its bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness. Critic tasting note: "This expression offers an uncompromising note of brine-laden peat and iodine, with charcoal and sweeter fruit notes also present. The General Wine Company is a family-owned and operated wine merchant in Liphook, Hampshire, England. The No 1 Islay malt in the UK and globally, Laphroaig is one of the most richly peated whiskies and the only single malt Scotch whisky to be awarded the Royal Warrant by HRH Prince of Wales. The palate entry is pleasantly smoky and grainy sweet; the midpalate flavors range from olive brine, seaweed, iodine, and wood smoke to baked pear, toffee and marshmallow.Laphroaig whiskies are known for their bold and intense flavors, characterized by the pungent aroma of peat smoke, medicinal notes, and a hint of maritime saltiness.

A distinctive character that still holds true to the spirit of Ian Hunter, who first created it over 75 years ago. Since 1815, when the distillery was officially founded on Islay (‘eye-la’), a small team of locals – with tradition in their soul – combined ancient skills, a dedication to quality and the mystical, peaty water of the Kilbride Stream to create what is considered by many to be the most distinctive single malt in the world. It's time in the cask has made it a nice smooth dram; not quite as smooth as the likes of Ardbeg 10, but still good.
