About
Laphroaig Cask Strength is an Islay Scotch, bottled at natural distillery strength and non-chill filtered. It has all the genuine depth, taste and texture associated with sampling whisky at the source. Laphroaig whisky is matured in seasoned oak barrels, which are charred before filling to impart a slight sweet vanilla nuttiness. Laphroaig 10 Year Cask Strength is barrier-filtered, only just, to remove the small char particles. This means you can enjoy it exactly as we made it, with very little intervention. In extremes of temperature and when you add water it may appear a little cloudy - this is the natural condition of a peated whisky of such uncompromising purity. Adding a little water releases a rich aroma of peat smoke with some sweetness and strong hints of the sea. Emphatic, full bodied and utterly unforgettable - we like to think it's the purists' choice.
