- Description
- Bottled in the 1980s before Laphroaig gained Royal Warrant status in 1994, this 10-year-old captures the distillery's pre-modernisation character at 40% ABV. The palate offers Laphroaig's signature peppery peat smoke and iodine character with underlying sweetness and a distinctive medicinal quality. The texture is medium and approachable with a lingering smoky finish. A piece of Islay history for those seeking to understand how Laphroaig's house style has developed.
