Description

The original Laphroaig, distilled the same way today as when Ian Hunter invented it over 75 years ago. In making Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only on Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavor. 43% ABVThose enjoying the 10 Year Old will first notice the bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness. This full-bodied variant is the foundation of all Laphroaig expressions and comes with a long finish.Tasting Notes ColorFull sparkling gold.NoseHuge smoke, seaweedy, medicinal, with a hint of sweetness.Body Full bodied.PalateSurprising sweetness with hints of salt and layers of peatinessFinish Lingering.
