The history
This single malt whisky comes from a distillery in the south of the island of Islay, which is one of the most famous whisky regions in the country. When the illegal distilling of alcohol came to an end at the beginning of the 19th century, the brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston founded the distillery named “Laphroaig” at this location. Even today, the distillery is known for its very own style of whisky. The old traditions of yesteryear are also preserved in the production of Laphroaig 10YO Sherry Oak Finish whisky. For example, the Islay peat is cut by hand and the barley is malted by hand. This also gives this whisky the very special taste for which Laphroaig is known.
Taste
The Laphroaig 10YO Sherry Oak Finish whisky combines traditional production history with the sweet aroma of sherry casks. After 10 years of maturation, this sweet single malt develops a rich aroma with many flavor facets. At the beginning, it pampers the senses with a sweet and peaty taste, which is then replaced by notes of smoked bacon, wax, maple syrup, pine needles and dark chocolate. The finish is long-lasting, spicy and develops a delicate taste of chestnut honey.
