Laphroaig 10YO 700ml

40% ABV.

The Kilbride Streams plentiful supply of peaty, mineral-rich water is used as a coolant throughout the whisky-making process and it’s one of Laphroaig’s main ingredients, lending soft, peaty, flavoursome notes to the whisky. The peat bogs are unlike anything found on mainland Scotland. There are no forests on Islay, so the plants that fuel the peat are primarily heather, lichen, and moss. These give Laphroaig its herbal, qualities that are distinctive to the island. Also in the mix is old sea vegetation from when Islay was under water. The influence of this on the peat gives Laphroaig its maritime character and is one of the biggest ways in which it differs from mainland peat. So, from earth and water to fine whisky. 

The original expression, Laphroaig 10 is the foundation of all the distilleries whisky, created to bottle the nature of Islay. Expect a big peaty slap, hints of seaweed and a surprising sweetness.​
