Laphroaig750ml 10 Year Old Islay Single Malt Whisky

About

On the far edge of the Scotch whisky map, it's supposed that the art of distillation was first brought to Islay by Irish monks. Being remote, it’s an art that flourished in the hands of the islanders, whose illegal operations tested the resolve and means of the taxman. Eventually, the law relaxed, various whisky makers set up legitimate distilleries, among them a pair of farmers, Donald and Alexander Johnston, who in 1815 founded their distillery on the island’s south coast. Laphroaig, so-called after its location, ‘broad hollow by the bay.’ It would remain in family hands for the next 139 years. 

Product Features

• In making Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire
• The smoke from this peat, found only on Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavour
• Those enjoying the 10-year-old will first notice the bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness
