3 x Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak

Hot Off The Press From Laphroaig Distillery and 3 To Be Won!

From the distillery just 5 minutes away from Luxury & Rare Whisky HQ, this was launched just this month, a new take on its much loved and iconic 10 Year Old single malt, here we have the brand new, highly anticipated Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Finish!

If you have ever wondered where that salty, seaweedy and iodine flavour might come from in a classic Laphroaig, this photo taken only yesterday might give a subtle clue!

Since 1815, Laphroaig has been creating premium single malt Scotch whisky, and this new Sherry Oak finish presents a new flavour profile for lovers of the Islay-distillery’s unforgettable flavour.

John Campbell, Laphroaig Distillery manager, has said: ‘We are so excited to announce the release of our unique and premium expression, Sherry Oak, taking our iconic Laphroaig 10 Year Old and finishing it with the sweet flavours of Oloroso sherry cask. This is a perfect accompaniment to any whisky collection and a celebrated addition to the Laphroaig range.’

Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Finish Triple Winner

A rich and smoky 10-year-old single malt from Laphroaig that has been finished in oloroso sherry casks, creating a rich, full-bodied character.

The whisky is first aged in European Oak sherry casks which are carefully selected to give the typical Laphroaig style, and the additional finish in Oloroso casks gives a nutty and sweet complexity. The result is a well-balanced whisky that intertwines strong peat with rich fruits perfectly, and is bottled at 48% abv.

Sweet medicinal peat notes give way to honey sweetness, cloves and smoked bacon. A sweet and aromatic palate, with creamy chocolate and polish, leading to a long, sweet and spicy finish.
