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

Product Information

It's like being dragged down to the sea shore in a storm and having your face pushed under the water before being pulled out and left to recover by a fire whilst having your cuts dressed with TCP and sticking plaster. Its distinctive flavour profile is crafted from malted barley, initially cold-smoked over peat fires, a technique mastered by only a select few distilleries. Palate: The Original Cask Strength is sweet and spicy with notes of vanilla, toffee and sea salt along with hints of cinnamon and pepper. The scotch enthusiasts in your life will appreciate the warmth and hardiness after coming in from the cold.

From a 25km-long, storm-buffeted island off the west coast of Scotland comes Laphroaig (pronounced ‘la-froyg’), a Gaelic word meaning ‘beautiful hollow by the broad bay’. Established in 1815, the distillery holds a long-standing reputation for producing distinctive and robust single malt Scotch whisky. The peat brings out prominent tastes of a damp forest floor, smoked kippers, liquid bonfire and a hint of iodine. 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.

Starting from 2021, thanks to the synergy with Tree-Nation, Bottle of Italy has contributed to the planting of over 6,000 trees. The use of the local peat, with its high moss content, contributes enormously to the flavour profile for which Laphroaig is so famous.

There's always so many bad reviews from fools who think you can pick up a bottle of single malt and it will be to your taste. Founded on Islay in 1815, the Laphroaig distillery has been creating distinctive Scotch whisky for over two centuries. 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. This single malt matures in charred ex-Bourbon barrels for a full decade before being bottled at its natural cask strength, preserving its powerful and distinctive flavors. A brand new addition to Laphroaig's core range, this 10 year old whisky has been finished in Oloroso sherry casks adding a layer of dark chocolate, leather and caramel onto the distillery's signature .
