Laphroaig 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700 ml, LAPHROAIG10

SPECIFICATIONS

Laphroaig 10yo is a full-bodied, smoky gem, with a residual sweetness and a hint of salt amid the seaweedy, peaty characters before a long warming finish. A classic dram. Really smoky and iodine rich. Laphroaig are known for their medicinal malts, and the classic 10 year old is no exception.

COLOR: Full sparkling gold.
NOSE: This opens on big, smoky muscular peat notes. There are spices, and liquorice, as well as a big dose of salt. This whisky has become slightly sweeter in recent years, and it appears beautifully on the Nose, amidst the classic iodine/sticking plasters and cool wood smoke we love.
TASTE: Seaweed-led, with a hint of vanilla ice cream and more than a whiff of notes from the first aid box (TCP, plasters etc). The oak is big, and muscles its way into the fore as you hold this whisky over your tongue. An upsurge of spices develop – cardamom/black pepper/chilli.
FINISH: Big and drying, as the savoury, tarry notes build up with an iodine complexity.
OVERALL: The only malt from Laphroaig’s range that John Campbell recommends with water; try it, it opens up the palate massively, providing a dazzling array of additional flavours.

Spirit Type: Whisky
