Laphroaig 38 Year Old Single Malt Scotch

Nose: The aroma is an enchanting symphony of Islay's maritime influences. A robust wave of peat smoke washes over the senses, interwoven with nuances of sea breeze and brine. Delicate notes of dried fruit emerge, offering a sweet counterpoint to the bold peatiness. Hints of oak and leather add an extra layer of complexity, promising an extraordinary tasting experience. Palate: On the palate, the whisky unveils an opulent tapestry of flavors. The peat smoke takes center stage, delivering an intense and well-rounded smokiness that is both commanding and refined. Layers of dried fruits, including figs and apricots, add a luscious sweetness, while a touch of honey provides a velvety texture. Subtle spices and a whisper of vanilla contribute to the overall complexity, creating a palate that evolves with each sip. Mid-Palate: In the mid-palate, the complexity deepens. Leather and tobacco notes emerge, marrying seamlessly with the maritime influences. The oak cask's influence becomes more pronounced, introducing a gentle spiciness that enhances the whisky's depth. The balance achieved over 38 years of maturation is evident, creating a harmonious and sophisticated tasting experience. Finish: The finish is an enduring testament to the whisky's age and craftsmanship. The peat smoke lingers, gradually mellowing into a warm and satisfying conclusion. The sweetness persists, leaving a lasting impression on the palate. Each element of the finish reflects the legacy of Laphroaig and the mastery behind this exceptional 38 Year Old expression.

Located at the head of Loch Laphroaig on the south coast of Islay, Laphroaig Distillery is renowned for the rich, unmistakable taste of its whisky which is the favourite of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and even bears his Royal Warrant.
Among them were the brothers who founded Laphroaig's distillery on the island's south coast in 1815…
Carefully crafted from our own floor-malted barley, non-chill filtered, and full of flavour, our 2023 25 Year Old Cask Strength whisky, bottled at 47.3% vol, is a sip as close to the source as you can get.
Unlike most distilleries, we infuse the barley with peat smoke before we dry it. For 17 hours the smoke (or 'peat reek') rises through a perforated drying floor into the kiln. The vapourised oils – the peat's phenolic compounds and other wood-based smoky flavours – are then absorbed by the damp barley.

Laphroaig 10 is the definitive Islay peated single malt, distilled following traditions laid over the last 200 years by passionate master distillers. It's a staple for connoisseurs and a peaty rite of passage.
Laphroaig 10 years old is a sweet, strong flavour of a dram. The sweetness comes from the small size of the stills, also the alcohol content is only 40%, which tempers the alcohol burn we perhaps are expecting from such a powerful-looking and smelling dram.
