Tasting Notes

Nose

Butter cream icing, coastal sea air, s'mores. Smoky BBQ sauce, crème brûlée. The cask strength gives the classic Laphroaig medicinal peat full, vivid expression. Band-aid, woodfire, sea brine.

Palate

Barbecue beef, brown sugar, medium-roast Arabian coffee. Sea salt, chilli spice, tobacco. The cask strength reveals a sweetness and complexity that the standard 10 at 40% cannot show. Massive and peaty yet balanced by malt sweetness.

Finish

Very long — peat smoke, maritime salt, a lingering medicinal warmth. The full strength sustains the Islay character magnificently.

Expert Review

8.5/10

Laphroaig at full power — ten years of Islay's most medicinal malt at whatever strength the barrels deliver.
