Laphroaig 10 y.o. Cask Strength Batch 17

Special features: The Laphroaig 10 Year Cask Strength Batch 17 is an original bottling from the renowned Laphroaig Distillery in Scotland, specifically from the Islay region. It matures over a period of ten years in ex-bourbon casks and is bottled at cask strength with an alcohol content of 58.3%. This bottling not only offers the strong smoky character for which Laphroaig is known but also the deep flavors that result from natural maturation. The whisky is bottled without chill filtration and is characterized by its natural color.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose is vibrant and smoky, with a lively expression and notes of candied apple slices, crème brûlée, and sweet pastries.
• Palate: The palate is initially dominated by sweet and fruity flavors, such as stewed apple, vanilla cream, and pears in syrup, followed by a wave of sea salt, peat, and crispy seaweed.
• Finish: The finish is very long and marked by black pepper spice, antique leather, and a gentle, grassy smoke that transitions into a tarry peat aroma.

Batch 17 is a high-quality bottling that continues the tradition of the Laphroaig house while drawing on years of experience in whisky production.
