Description
This unique expression from Laphroaig combines the unforgettable flavour of their 10-year-old whisky with the sweet, aromatic flavours from the Oloroso sherry casks. It’s a new addition to the Islay stalwart’s core range that was launched in 2021. The 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 & loved for.
After distillation, the spirit matures for ten years in a combination of refill Oloroso sherry barrels and American oak ex-bourbon barrels. For its final transformation, it’s moved into European Oak Oloroso sherry barrels for an additional 12-18 months where it takes on and develops sweet and spicy aromas — along with a deep amber colour like liquid gold.
