- Description
- This 10-year-old Cask Strength release from Laphroaig, bottled in 2013 and notable for a rare label misprint (Johnston misspelled as Johnson), represents the distillery's core peat character at full strength and without chill-filtering. Peat smoke, brine, and medicinal phenolics dominate, backed by light vanilla from the ex-bourbon cask and a grainy sweetness from the spirit itself. The mouthfeel is robust and warming at 57.3% ABV, with a finish that persists for minutes. The printing error has made this a collector's piece, adding numismatic interest to an already characterful dram.
