Description and specs

Our Original Cask Strength is the purest way to experience the taste created by the land, sea and air of Islay. Aged 10 years, it s barrier-filtered from the cask to remove unwanted char particles and that s all that comes between you and the real Laphroaig.

We don t chill-filter our Original Cask Strength, and we don t reduce its natural strength. So, what you pour is what we draw from the barrel the heart of charred seasoned oak barrels, our blue peat smoke and nutty barley, in a truly natural experience.

Batch 16 is our most powerful expression within the Cask Strength family, characterised by a 58.5% proof point and notes of vanilla and sea salt intermingled with hints of freshly ground black pepper and pork crackling. A dram poured neat will fill the nose with aromas of sweet apples and caramelised pastry, underpinned with a tang of cereal and tanned leather notes. The finish, a mixture of gentle spice, charred oak and smoked mackerel with an oily mouthful.

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Vibrant yellow gold.

Nose: Sweet, stewed apples topped with crispy, slightly caramelized pastry. This is underpinned by hints of cereal, tanned leather and vanilla.

Palate: Upfront sweet and spicy notes, with notes of vanilla and sea salt intermingled with savoury notes of pork crackling with hints of freshly ground black pepper.

Finish: Long, warming finish with notes of gentle spice, charred oak, smoked mackerel and sea salt encapsulated in an oily mouthfeel.

Maturation: This single malt ages in charred ex-Bourbon barrels for ten years before being bottled at natural cask strength. ?
