Laphroaig 10 Years

Laphroaig  is one of the most iconic peated single malts in the world. This Islay whisky is bold, medicinal, and unmistakably smoky—crafted for those who love intense flavors and seaside character.

Aged for a decade in ex-bourbon barrels, Laphroaig 10 builds its reputation on purity and power. Its strong maritime identity reflects the rugged Islay coastline, where sea spray and peat dominate the senses.

The nose is instantly recognizable. Expect thick waves of smoke, iodine, seaweed, and antiseptic notes. Beneath the smoke, hints of vanilla, citrus, and damp oak begin to emerge.

On the palate, Laphroaig 10 is rich, oily, and surprisingly smooth for its intensity. Flavors of smoked bacon, charcoal, sea salt, and earthy peat dominate, balanced by soft sweetness from the oak and malt.

It’s an unapologetic whisky—brash at first, but rewarding with every sip. As it opens, layers of spice, licorice, and lemon zest appear, adding complexity to the dense, smoky profile. The finish is long, warm, and dry. Smoke and sea carry on endlessly, joined by subtle oak and faint medicinal notes.

Laphroaig 10 is a whisky that divides opinion—and proudly so. It’s loved by purists and peat lovers for its unapologetic strength. Best enjoyed neat, with water, or even with a splash of soda to open its layered personality.
