The Laphroaig Cask Strength Ex-Bourbon Barrels is a remarkable 10-year-old single malt whisky hailing from the esteemed Islay distillery, Laphroaig. Known for its distinctive and bold character, this whisky is bottled at an impressive cask strength of 56.5% ABV and is non-chill filtered, thereby preserving the full expression of its rich flavors. Matured in ex-bourbon barrels, this whisky offers a full-bodied and intricate profile. The nose is an intricate tapestry of aromas including sweet tobacco, oatcakes, nutmeg spice, and charred wood. On the palate, one experiences a harmonious blend of Chantilly cream, marshmallow, salted caramel, pepper, cinnamon, espresso, and subtle hints of vanilla and malt. The finish is long-lasting, showcasing a smoky, slightly medicinal character with a whisper of sea salt. This release is the 15th batch of Laphroaig's 10 Year Old Cask Strength, launched in December 2021. It upholds the distillery's legacy of crafting robust, peat-rich whiskies. The high ABV of 56.5% accentuates the whisky’s intense flavors, creating a powerful and unforgettable sipping experience. Laphroaig's distinctive flavor profile is achieved through a meticulous process where malted barley is dried over a peat fire, using peat that is exclusive to Islay. This method imparts the unique, rich flavors characterized by smoky, medicinal, and sweet elements. This batch 015 release stands as a testament to Laphroaig's unwavering commitment to producing exceptional whiskies.
