Official tasting notes:
Nose: The nuanced aroma reveals whiffs of sweet cereals, fresh oak and pipe tobacco with touches of leather, nutmeg and vanilla.
Finish: Long finish with lingering spice, oak tannins, iodine and sea salt.
Palate: The Original Cask Strength is sweet and spicy with notes of vanilla, toffee and sea salt along with hints of cinnamon and pepper.

Description
This is the 15th batch of the Islay distillery’s 10-year-old, cask strength expression which shines in bold intensity. If you’re a fan of peated whisky, you need to try this magnificent pour. In 2021, Laphroaig released three batches in the same year – Batch 13 bottled in January 2021, Batch 14 bottled in June 2021, (both available on our virtual shelves) and this whisky bottled in December 2021.
The series started in 2009 when Laphroaig began releasing special cask strength batches of their 10yo whisky once a year that unfortunately never make it in their line up for the Australian market. But never fear fellow peat-lovers, we’ve included them in our ever-growing whisky portfolio for your smoky consideration. 😉
The distillery comments;
“The only thing between you and the full, uncompromising expression of our most powerful cask strength whisky is the cork. Our Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength is the purest way to experience the taste created by the land, sea and air of Islay. Once removed from the barrel after a decade, the spirit is barrier-filtered to remove unwanted char particles. Then, this cask strength single malt goes straight to the bottle. The result is a bracing, full-bodied 56.5% vol whisky delivering renowned smoke with a particular rugged character and depths of sweet and spicy flavour”.
