The Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak is a unique expression of this renowned whisky, combining the classic peat smoke and seaweed flavors that the brand is known for with the sweetness and complexity of Oloroso sherry. Crafted by the legendary Laphroaig Distillery in the Islay region, this whisky is aged for ten years and finished in sherry casks, which are carefully selected to complement and lend complexity to the single malt. The European oak casks, previously holding sweet Oloroso sherry, impart a rich, full-bodied flavor profile. On the nose, the Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak offers a sweet and peaty aroma with notes of Manuka honey, hospital bandages, antiseptic lotion, strong cloves, grilled smoky bacon, sweet leather, iodine, and pine tar. The palate is rich and complex, with notes of wax and furniture polish, treacle toffee, maple syrup, bitter dark chocolate, pencil shavings, pine needle, and cedar-scented wood. The finish is long, sweet, and spicy with chestnut honey. This whisky is crafted in the same time-honored way as the regular 10 Year Old Laphroaig, but with the added complexity and depth of flavor from the sherry cask finishing. The result is a particularly memorable single malt that is sure to please fans of Laphroaig and whisky lovers alike. Initial impressions may vary, but as one delves deeper into the bottle, the taste and finish reveal greater complexity and richness.
