Laphroaig 10 Yr. Sherry Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The nose is earthy and spicy with mature oak, aged peat, melted caramel, potpourri, sherry, candle wax, musty old library, and wool-filled closet. On the palate it’s rich and concentrated, creamy and thick, with chocolate cake and warm chocolate syrup, burnt coffee beans, cooked dark fruits, and medicinal notes, with a great touch of peated sweetness at the end. The peat and sherry oak create a remarkably subtle, yet delightfully complex effect. 92 PointsWhisky Advocate Reviewed by: David Fleming (Winter 2021)

Fans of the core 10-year-old expression are well advised to seek out this new sherry cask-finished version, which opens up an entirely new world of flavors that build upon its familiar character. It strikes a nice balance between the two. Robb Report, May 2021
