Description
The 10 year old Laphroaig whisky is a peated whisky that is aged in seasoned oak barrels that have been charred. The whisky is then filtered only just to remove the small char particles. The whisky is then bottled at a cask strength of 50%. The whisky has a deep, complex flavor with a slightly sweet vanilla nuttiness and a hint of the sea. The whisky is full bodied and eminently drinkable.
It has all the genuine depth, taste and texture associated with sampling whisky at source. Laphroaig whisky is matured in seasoned oak barrels, which are charred before filling to impart a slight sweet vanilla nuttiness. Laphroaig 10 year is barrier-filtered, only just, to remove the small char particles. This means you can enjoy exactly as we made it, with very little intervention.
In extremes of temperature and when you add water it may appear a little cloudy this is the natural condition of a peated whisky of such uncompromising purity. Adding a little water releases a rich aroma of peat smoke with some sweetness and strong hints of the sea. Emphatic, full bodied and utterly unforgettable we like to think its the purists' choice.
