Laphroaig Single Malt Scotch Original Cask Strength Batch 015 10 Yr

Appearance: Rich amber, reminiscent of a sunset over the peat bogs of Islay. The liquid clings to the glass with a velvety viscosity, hinting at the profound depth within. Nose: Prepare for an intense olfactory journey as bold peat smoke commands attention, inviting you to the rugged shores of Islay.

Finish: The finish is a lingering crescendo of peat smoke, evolving into a warm and satisfying conclusion. Oak spices intensify, leaving a lasting impression of the rugged Islay terroir.

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.
It's made from barley, which is malted at the distillery and dried over a peat flame adding greater depth. It has a smoky taste, underpinned by sweetness with a hint of seaweed. Huge smoke, seaweed (medicinal), with a hint of sweetness on the finish - Laphroaig 10 Year Old is a legendary Scotch.
