Laphroaig 10 Years Cask Strength Batch 16 [700ML]

Description

Looking for a cask strength Islay masterpiece that delivers uncompromising peat power straight from the distillery?

As a certified spirits specialist, I can confidently say the Laphroaig 10 Years Cask Strength Batch 16 represents Islay whisky-making at its most authentic. This premium expression bottled at natural strength without chill-filtration delivers the full intensity that collectors demand. Unlike the mellower Laphroaig Oak Select or sweeter Laphroaig PX Cask, this batch 16 showcases raw medicinal peat character that serious whisky enthusiasts crave.

• Distillery: Laphroaig, established 1815 on Islay’s south coast
• Region: Islay, Scotland – renowned for intensely peated expressions
• ABV: 40% – delivers concentrated flavors with surprising approachability
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: 10 years in ex-bourbon barrels, creating perfect peat-oak balance
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals iodine, seaweed, and antiseptic bandages with sweet vanilla. Palate explodes with medicinal peat smoke, maritime brine, citrus zest, and charred oak. Finish lingers endlessly with warm peat ash and gentle sweetness
• Best Served: Neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass, add water dropwise to unlock hidden complexities

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this batch 16 particularly expressive, revealing honeyed undertones that balance the assertive peat beautifully. After evaluating countless Islay expressions, this stands alongside Ardbeg 10 Year Old as essential for peat enthusiasts.
