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…
I have drunk more Laphroaig 10 over the past forty years than all the other whiskies added together. It's like being dragged down to the sea shore in a storm and having your face pushed under the water before being pulled out and left to recover by a fire whilst having your cuts dressed with TCP and sticking plaster. In a good way. If you don't like peat don't buy this. If you don't like smoke don't buy this. If you don't like the smell of the medicine cabinet don't buy this. If you are wedded to Highland whisky don't buy this. If you love Lowland whisky for God's sake don't buy this. Just leave it for us to enjoy. Slàinte! ?
I simply love this stuff. It's what I always thought whiskey could be, but never quite was. Rich, bold, smoky, briney... This whiskey is a firm handshake. It's just what I love. Nothing compares to a good Islay, and this is my favorite.
I've only been through about 4 dozen single malts over 20 years but this is my favourite overall (so far). It took the crown from Lagavulin 16 over two years ago and every so often I do a taste test between Lag 16, Arbeg 10 and Lap 10 and each time I prefer the Lap. I do appreciate the others and many other single malts from other regions I have tried but for me it's the Lap 10.
It's complex for sure. My suggestion is with a dram glass or snifter with a few drops of water. Your first time tasting this will be like you felt like you just inhaled smoke from a campfire. The water opens it up and really makes the flavor come out. Not for beginners! Smoky, Savory, vanilla sweet, Salty. I am glad it was available here in the Northeast of the US for the holidays. The scotch enthusiasts in your life will appreciate the warmth and hardiness after coming in from the cold.
Amazing. I’ve been on my whisky journey properly now for around 3 years, tried this in a bar (new bottle) and thought that it was too strong. I wasn’t deterred though and thought, right, I’ll build up to it. Bowmore 12 got me interested in whisky around 15 years ago, and I’ve bought a few bottles e.g. smokehead to know what smoke is, Jura for fruits etc etc, aiming for peat and smoke whiskies. I’ve come back to this and how things have changed. I absolutely love it and would recommend anyone who doesn’t like this but still likes Islay to build up to it. Pallet and nose as mentioned above, lots of vanilla for me, very smooth, smokey, little tcp and sweet. I kind of get coal like in steam engines and pine. Water makes it sweeter, so beat neat for me. Iechyd da!
