Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 15 is the most powerful expression in the Laphroaig range. It embodies the classic 10 Year Old with an enhanced character and delivered at 56.5% ABV. It's a combination of peat smoke, heather and sea salt running wild. It is perhaps the purest way to experience the taste created by the land, sea and air of Islay. Once removed from the barrel after a decade, the spirit is barrier-filtered to remove unwanted char particles. This is then bottled at cask strength. The result is a bracing, full-bodied whisky delivering renowned smoke in abundance, with a strong rugged character and depths of sweet and spicy flavours. A splash of water reveals additional peat smoke and notes of sea salt.
Colour: A vibrant tawny colour that drops hints of the full strength of this whisky.
Nose: An inhale of the aromas reveals whiffs of sweet cereals, fresh oak and pipe tobacco with touches of leather, nutmeg and vanilla.
Palate: Sweet and spicy with notes of vanilla, toffee and sea salt along with hints of cinnamon and pepper.
Finish: Long finish with lingering notes of spice, oak tannins, iodine and sea salt.
Maturation: This single malt is aged in charred ex-Bourbon barrels for ten years before being bottled at its natural cask strength.
The bottle comes presented in a Laphroaig branded Gift Tube.
