Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 010 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Whisky: Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 10, bottled in 2018 by the Islay distillery owned by Suntory, is a limited annual release capturing the essence of this peated Scotch at full barrel strength of 58.0% ABV. Non-chill filtered and primarily aged in ex-bourbon barrels, it delivers an undiluted, rugged character straight from the cask without added water, embodying Laphroaig's signature maritime peat influence shaped by Islay's land, sea, and air. This batch stands out in the series for its intense power and depth, appealing to peat enthusiasts seeking the purest expression of the distillery's medicinal, smoky profile.

Taste Profile: The nose bursts with earthy BBQ char, medicinal iodine, coastal brine, and old wood, evolving to orange oil, black pepper, and ginger with a touch of water. On the palate, it offers medium body with vegetal peat smoke, meaty char, vanilla sweetness, nutty malt, and spicy black pepper, delivering a rich, oily texture. The long finish lingers with spicy oak, oily peat, and fading smoke, making it bolder and more textured than standard Laphroaig 10yo.
