Laphroaig 10 Year Old  Single Malt Whisky

Laphroaig 10 Year Old Islay Peated Single Malt is distilled following traditions laid over the last 200 years. Matured for 10 years in ex-bourbon barrels for smoothness and character inherited from charred oak. Its unique flavour profile is conjured from malted barley which is first cold-smoked over peat fires, like only a handful of distilleries​.

    Nose:    Peat smoke, seaweed scent and a 'medicinal' essence hit the nose with a hint of sweetness.

    Taste:    Surprising sweetness with hints of salt and layers of peatiness.

    Finish:   Long and lingering. Wait for the sweet seaweed afterglow.

Sometimes referred to as the most richly flavoured of all Scotch whiskies, Laphroaig is one of the most iconic island distilleries. With its smoky and iodine flavours, Laphroaig embodies the Islay identity.
Although the exact etymology isn’t known, Laphroaig is said to mean “broad hollow by the bay” in Gaelic. This references its location, a small basin on Islay’s southern coast. However, it officially operated under the business name of D. Johnston & Co throughout most of its history after Donald and Alexander Johnston, who in 1815 founded their distillery on the island’s south coast.
