This is Batch 17. Laphroaig 10 Year Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch is a powerhouse of intense, smoky flavors that delivers the full, unfiltered Islay experience.

This seal of approval from the British royal family highlights the exceptional quality and heritage of this iconic Islay single malt.

Nose: Intense peat smoke hits first, followed by sea spray and iodine. Notes of vanilla and honey provide sweetness. Hints of oak and leather add depth. Medicinal aromas reminiscent of bandages and antiseptic.

Finish: Long and warming. Peat smoke lingers, accompanied by sea salt and ash. Dry oak tannins and a slight nuttiness. Medicinal notes fade slowly. Leaves a pleasant warmth and slight tingling on the tongue.
