Tasting Notes

Colour

Its vibrant tawny colour reflects the full strength of this whisky, hinting at the complex notes drawn from the charred oak.

Nose

The nuanced aroma reveals whiffs of sweet cereals, fresh oak and pipe tobacco with touches of leather, nutmeg and vanilla.

Palate

The Original Cask Strength is sweet and spicy with notes of vanilla, toffee and sea salt along with hints of cinnamon and pepper.

Finish

Long finish with lingering spice, oak tannins, iodine and sea salt.

Maturation

This single malt ages in charred ex-Bourbon barrels for ten years before being bottled at natural cask strength.

THEY CALL IT THE POWERFUL ONE

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. A dram poured neat is lively on the nose with hints of vanilla, pipe tobacco and leather while overwhelming the palate with toffee, fudge and cinnamon. Splashing in a couple drops of water draws out additional peat smoke and notes of sea salt.
