Tasting Notes

Colour

The sparkling gold appearance, natural colour and narrow trails on the glass all signal rich character.

Nose

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

Palate

Surprising sweetness with hints of salt and layers of peatiness.

Finish

Long and lingering. Wait for the sweet seaweed afterglow.

Maturation

Matured for 10 years in ex-Bourbon barrels for smoothness and character inherited from charred oak.

A TRUE TASTE OF ISLAY

Laphroaig 10 is the definitive Islay peated single malt, distilled following traditions laid over the last 200 years by passionate master distillers. It’s a staple for connoisseurs and a peaty rite of passage. Its unique flavour profile is conjured from malted barley which is first cold-smoked over peat fires, like only a handful of distilleries.

The grain is then dried over those same fires and tossed on our malting floor facing out to sea. It spends the next 10 years in ex-Bourbon barrels. Because a full decade is what it takes to create our full-bodied 10 year old whisky with bold smoky flavour, notes of salty seaweed, and a lingering sweetness. Sip neat or over ice. Either way, you’ll be drawn in by its quintessential Islay charm.
