Laphroaig 10 Year Old is an iconic Islay single malt whisky, renowned for its heavily peated profile. Expect intense smoke, medicinal iodine, and a hint of seaweed. This whisky captures the bold spirit of Islay and is one of Scotland's most characterful drams. Islay's world-famous Laphroaig distillery is known for its medicinal malts, and its signature 10-year-old is no exception thanks to its full maturation in bourbon barrels, which serves to highlight that individual distillery character. This beauty has won a slew of industry awards over the decades and we love it.
Non-chill filtered for maximum flavour. A must-have for peat lovers!"
Our tasting notes feature a contribution from the longest-serving distillery manager in the brand's history, the wonderful John Campbell, who worked at Laphroaig from 1994 until 2021.
This opens on big, smoky muscular peat notes. There are spices, and liquorice, as well as a big dose of salt. This whisky has become slightly sweeter in recent years, and it appears beautifully on the nose, amidst the classic iodine/sticking plasters and cool wood smoke we love.
Seaweed-led, with a hint of vanilla ice cream and more than a whiff of notes from the first aid box (TCP, plasters etc). The oak is big, and muscles its way into the fore as you hold this whisky over your tongue. An upsurge of spices develop – cardamom/black pepper/chilli.
Big and drying, as the savoury, tarry notes build up with an iodine complexity.
The only malt from Laphroaig’s range that John Campbell recommends with water; try it, it opens up the palate massively, providing a dazzling array of additional flavours…

This iconic dram embodies the character and complexity of the Islay spirit. Bold peat and smoky wafts give way to sweet, citrus and oaky flavours with each sip. Add water to release the nectar of the gods. A true experience but the weak kneed ...need not apply.
God! I bloody love Laphroaig! This 10 year old is almost perfect. It’s got all the medicinal smokiness going on plus the most deliciously sweet spirit lurking beneath.
I will not buying it again
Good evening, I am a retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Office, so I purchase my Laphroaig at the Parris Island, S.C. Exchange. Truly your Scotch Whiskey is a pleasure to enjoy anytime after a meal, or relaxing by the fireplace. I hope someday to visit your exceptional distillery, and meet all the talented masters of Laphoaig. Semper Fidelis, Campbell C. Cauthen III
