Aged for ten years and finished in sherry casks, this unique Laphroaig expression combines the unforgettable flavour of our classic 10 year old whisky with the sweetness and complexity of Oloroso. Notes of Manuka honey, grilled bacon and maple syrup meet the classic peat smoke and seaweed that Laphroaig is famous for.
The whisky is crafted in the same time-honored way as our regular 10 year old single malt before resting in carefully selected sherry casks. Each one is carefully chosen to complement and lend complexity to our quintessential single malt. The barrels are crafted from European oak, and previously filled with sweet Oloroso sherry to bring a rich, full-bodied flavour profile to this single malt Scotch.
"Flavors of dried dates, figs, grape jam, honey, brown butter and roasted nuts somehow match with briny seaweed and burning rubber tires. In other words, the Laphroaigness of the whisky is very much present, but with a pleasant, and not overpowering sherry influence to dress it up a little." - Amanda Schuster, Distiller
