Laphroaig 10 Year Old Single Islay Malt is among the most common Islay whiskies. For many, the Islay whiskies are among the most prestigious in the world. There seems to be something mysterious in the peat of the island, which creates a unique taste. Distilled by the relatively small Laphroaig distillery, the Laphroaig 10 Year Old was my absolute favorite whisky for quite a long time, but recently I have started to favor whiskies with a smoother taste. As Laphroaig promises, it offers a strong aroma and a pungent flavor which may be overwhelming to inexperienced whisky tasters. However, the 10 Year Old version of Laphroaig serves as a great introduction into the Laphroaig family.
Taste: A strong and pungent taste, rich in smoke and peat aromas. A hint of tar, saltiness and even oiliness. A very long and enjoyable aftertaste. Preferably enjoyed with a spoonful of water to tame and open the aromas more.
Overall, Laphroaig 10 Year Old Single Islay Malt is a very good whisky with a rich, sophisticated taste. Since it is among the mid-priced Single Malt whiskies, it offers good price-value. However, it may prove too strong for some and is best when enjoying and truly savoring a single glass.
