Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Cask Finish at The Whisky Exchange – Scotch Whisky News
AVAILABLE NOW
Laphroaig 10 Year Old is undoubtedly one of the best-loved – and most divisive – single malt whiskies on the market. Its powerful, peaty flavour has become synonymous with Islay, and has caused many a budding whisky fan to either fall head-over-heels in love, or recoil in horror, never to raise a dram again.
This newest incarnation of such a legendary whisky is sure to interest and divide whisky fans even further. Classic Laphroaig 10 Year Old, aged for most of its life in ex-bourbon casks before a finishing period spent in ex-oloroso sherry casks, this is a beautiful balance of punchy peat flavour and rich, fruity sherry-cask influence.
The result of such a combination is a richly-flavoured whisky, laden with notes of seaweed, dark fruits, honey and well-cured bacon. We’re fans, but will it be for you? There’s only one way to find out.
