Cask Strength 10y

About

Laphroaig's Cask Strength is a powerful, non-chill-filtered expression of this iconic Islay single malt, matured in bourbon barrels and bottled at full strength. At 57.3% ABV, this 10-year-old offers an uncompromising tasting experience that showcases the distillery's distinctive character in all its intensity. The nose reveals thick waves of smoky peat followed by candied fruit and toffee, with characteristic coastal, briny notes and hints of iodine emerging alongside citrus fruit. On the palate, the whisky is dense and creamy, displaying rich, earthy, and spicy character with a distinctive lemon-and-salt combination and subtle woody astringency. The finish is long and lingering, with persistent smoke, peppery spice, and medicinal notes that gradually fade, leaving a welcome trace of salt and smoked vanilla. This is a whisky for serious Islay enthusiasts seeking full flavour and the unfiltered essence of Laphroaig's coastal terroir.
