Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 012 Single Malt Scotch 700mL

It has all the genuine depth, taste and texture associated with sampling whisky at source. Laphroaig whisky is matured in seasoned oak barrels, which are charred before filling to impart a slight sweet vanilla nuttiness. Laphroaig 10 year Cask Strength is barrier-filtered, only just, to remove the small char particles. This means you can enjoy exactly as we made it, with very little intervention.

In extremes of temperature and when you add water it may appear a little cloudy – this is the natural condition of a peated whisky of such uncompromising purity. Adding a little water releases a rich aroma of peat smoke with some sweetness and strong hints of the sea. Emphatic, full bodied and utterly unforgettable – we like to think it’s the purists' choice.

"Frosted Flakes, marzipan, and sugar cookies lead on the nose along with a thick cloud of pipe smoke. The peat smoke is booming on the palate, with rubber and asphalt, as well as licorice and salted caramels. The finish is a low burning seaside campfire on a damp night, with tobacco, cedar, incense, and cinnamon." - Jake Emen, Distiller

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Sweet cereals with biscuit notes, fresh oak, smoked cedar and Manuka honey. Amsterdam pipe tobacco, shoe polish and old leather combined with a touch of waxy church candle, vanilla cream, nutmeg and oak extracts.

Finish: Floral with spicy oak tannins, iodine and sea salt.

Palate: Sweet and spicy, with burnt oak staves, barbecued marshmallows, toffee and sea salt, vanilla and Belgium caramel waffles. Roasted coffee fudge cream on sticky toffee pudding, with a hint of white pepper and crushed cinnamon.
