- Description
- This pre-2013 Laphroaig 10-year-old carries Islay character defined by peat smoke, briny maritime notes, and a medicinal quality typical of the distillery's uncompromising approach. A decade in ex-bourbon casks has built structure beneath the smoke, adding subtle vanilla sweetness and wood spice that prevent the peat from becoming one-dimensional. The texture is robust and slightly oily, with a long, smoky finish that lingers on the palate. A foundational Islay expression for those developing their appreciation of heavily peated whiskies.
