Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Finish stands out as a remarkable expression. It combines the unforgettable flavours of the classic 10 Year Old Laphroaig with the sweet and complex influence of Oloroso sherry casks. This unique whisky begins with the same traditional process, aging in ex-Bourbon barrels, before it rests in Oloroso sherry casks to gain extra depth and character. Each sherry oak cask is hand-selected to create a truly exceptional single malt.
Tasting Note by Laphroaig:
Nose: Sweet and peaty with medicinal notes of Manuka honey, hospital bandages, antiseptic lotion, Germolene, strong cloves aroma but also grilled smoky bacon, a distinctive character of sweet leather, iodine and pine tar.
Palate: Sweet and aromatic, with rich wax and furniture polish notes followed by treacle toffee, maple syrup, bitter dark chocolate combined with pencil shavings, pine needle and cedar scented wood.
Finish: Finished in European oak Oloroso sherry barrels.
I love Laphroaig and thought because I love sherried whiskies I would love this one and as nice as it is it isn’t as good as I expected.
That’s not to say it’s bad but it wasn’t as good as expected.
Fruity sweet smoke with hints of coastal salinity and fish smokers. Beautiful balance between all flavours and quite a gentle sip at 48% abv.
Excellent sherried peated dram. Well worth the money

Christmas smoky cake, nutty, with toffee and cinnamon. Smoky grilled bacon with a honey coating, leaving a full mouthfeel. Well worth the money.
