More information Laphroaig 10 Year Reserve 1 Litre (Islay) Whisky
The original Laphroaig, distilled the same way today as when Ian Hunter invented it over 75 years ago.
In making Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only on Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavour.
Those enjoying the 10 Year Old will first notice the bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness. This full-bodied variant is the foundation of all Laphroaig expressions and comes with a long finish.
Distilled in the remote Islay island, Laphroaig is the finest Scottish whisky in the world.
Laphroaig (La-froyg) is the story of a community. An uncompromising, tough and determined group of people who work to ensure that this defining whisky has always remained true to its origins.
These origins can be found in Islay itself – its harsh climate and tough landscape have created a hardy people whose single-mindedness and honesty is as distinctive as Laphroaig.
Laphroaic Distillery
Laphroaig is distilled with water from the Kilbride Dam. Its characteristic distillation process has made it one of the top 5 sold whiskies in the world.
