Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Scotch Whisky

Description

Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak takes the classic Laphroaig peaty character to a new level. The influence of the Oloroso sherry casks adds a layer of richness and depth, complementing the smoky and medicinal flavors that Laphroaig is known for.

Nose

Expect an initial hit of Islay peat smoke, accompanied by medicinal notes and hints of seaweed. Beneath the smoke, you’ll find surprising sweetness – dried fruits like raisins and prunes – along with a touch of sherry.

Palate

The rich and full-bodied taste delivers an intense peat smoke experience, alongside familiar Laphroaig medicinal flavors. But here, the sherry influence truly shines through, adding notes of dried fruit, walnuts, honey, and a subtle sweetness.

Finish

The long and warming finish is dominated by lingering peat smoke, but it’s beautifully balanced by dried fruit and sherry sweetness. A hint of oak spice adds a final touch of complexity.
