Laphroaig Sherry Oak Finish 10 Year Old

Description

Brand: Laphroaig
Category: Whisky
Type: Single Malt
Region: Scotland – Islay
Strength: 48% alc/vol

Finished in European sherry oak casks for a particularly memorable single malt.​ ​ This unique expression begins with the same time-honoured process that goes into our regular 10 Year Old Laphroaig®. After drawing rich character from ex-Bourbon barrels, the spirit then rests in casks previously filled with sweet Oloroso sherry. Each barrel is hand selected to add extra complexity to our quintessential single malt. It’s what layers notes of Manuka honey and grilled bacon onto our renowned flavours of peat smoke and seaweed.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Medicinal notes of peat smoke and Manuka honey with strong cloves, leather, iodine and smoky bacon.
Palate: Sweet and aromatic with rich waxy notes. Followed by toffee, maple syrup, dark chocolate, pine needle and cedar. ​
Lingering sweetness and smouldering peat smoke with nuttiness and a hint of brine.
