10 YO Cask Strength - Batch 15

Batch 15 introduces our most satisfying blends in Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength with pronounced character and a 56.5% proof point. Peat smoke, heather and sea salt run wild.

THEY CALL IT THE POWERFUL ONE

The only thing between you and the full, uncompromising expression of Batch 15, one of our most powerful cask strength whiskies, is the cork. Our Laphroaig 10 Year Old 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, it’s straight to the bottle.

The result is a bracing, full-bodied 56.5% vol cask strength whisky of Batch 15, delivering renowned smoke with a particular rugged character and depths of sweet and spicy flavour. This dram poured neat is lively on the nose - The scent of vanilla, pipe tobacco and leather arrive together. With toffee, fudge, and cinnamon - the palate is overwhelmed with the sweet trio. Splashing in a couple drops of water draws out additional peat smoke and notes of sea salt.
