Smoke and sherry here from Laphroaig! The legendary distillery on the south coast of Islay has gone and released a fab 10 year old single malt Scotch whisky which has been finished in Oloroso sherry casks for over 12 months, and bottled up at 48% ABV. Alongside the familiar, intensely peaty elements of Laphroaig's classic 10 Year Old expression, you'll also find helpings of dark chocolate and maple syrup notes in this one's flavour profile. Yum!
Smoked meats, maple syrup, BBQ lemon, charred oak, a smidge of coffee.
More roasted cedar and peat smoke, with a hint of iodine tucked away. Dark chocolate, honey, and vanilla pod.
A balanced finish of sherried sweetness and smouldering peat.
This is my kind of Peated aged Malt Whisky with a lovely Sherry finish!
Unexpectedly superb with Sherry finish and extra oomph with the 48% bottling
Terrific Dram all round! Well done Laphroaig!
I was a touch disappointed. It's a decent Scotch but not an Islay. It's just too sweet with not enough smoke and peat for my palate.
Never opened this for a while but when I did,oh boy.Laphroaig 10+sherry ,a heavenly match.A whisky you can nose forever and a taste that makes you glad to be alive.Now for a second bottle!
