Product Description

One of the most richly flavoured of all Scotch whiskies. This unique expression from Laphroaid combines the unforgettable flavour of our 10 year old whisky with the sweet aromatic flavours from the Oloroso sherry casks. This marriage of casks creates a rich, full bodied flavour with notes of Manuka honey, bacon and maple syrup alongside the classic smoke, seaweed and hint of salt that Laphroaig is known and loved for. Sherry Oak Finish The European oak sherry casks are carefully selected to complement the unique and much-loved taste of Laphroaig. The additional sweetness and character of the Oloroso casks adds complexity and balance to create a unique and exciting expression, but one that stays true to the character of Laphroaig. Laphroaig, meaning "Beautiful hollow by the broad bay" has married malted barley with smoke from our native peat to produce one of the most richly flavoured of all Scotch whiskies since 1815. Distilled on the tiny Island of Islay off the west coast of Scotland the flavour is as untamed as the island itself. Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

What critics and judges wrote

Falstaff · October 2024
Wonderfully intense peat aroma, accompanied by a subtle dried fruit, which also brings nutty nuances. Powerful and balanced on the palate. Smoke, dried fruit, some malt and a slight sweetness in harmony, dry finish.

Elegant on the palate with deep aromas of honey, chocolate and iodized smoke. Beautiful balance of soft tones also in the finish, which harmoniously combines smoke and sherry.
94 ptsNovember 2023falstaff.com ↗
The typical peat density is supported by an unusually subtle, nutty dried fruit. On the palate the nuances of Islay smoke and sherry fruit are in harmony. A successful combination.
Distiller · Amanda Schuster
Flavors of dried dates, figs, grape jam, honey, brown butter and roasted nuts somehow match with briny seaweed and burning rubber tires. … the Laphroaigness of the whisky is very much present, but with a pleasant, and not overpowering sherry influence …

IWSC judges · Silver · 2024
Subtle fruit nuances and well-balanced cask influence on the nose and palate combine with smoky oak and BBQed seaweed led to a bold finish.

Gold Outstanding2022iwsc.net ↗
Rich manuka honey, wood spice, cocoa dusted deliciously and sweetened by the dried stone fruit. Peat aromas meet a parched sherry palate rich with furniture polish and beeswax. Green, smoky and sweet.
Gold2021iwsc.net ↗
Rich and fruity with sweet pear, smoked meats and chocolate underpinned by raisins and treacle toffee. Liquorice and tarry apricot balance elegantly with bitter intensity leading to an enduringly dry finish.
Whisky Advocate · David Fleming · 2021
The nose is earthy and spicy with mature oak, aged peat, melted caramel, potpourri, sherry, candle wax, musty old library, and wool-filled closet. … The peat and sherry oak create a remarkably subtle, yet delightfully complex effect.

World Whiskies Awards judges · Silver · 2025
Considered smoke on the nose of this whisky is then accompanied by notes of demerara sugar, roast gammon, and cinder toffee. … The finish is medium-long, with balanced smoke.
