Description

Looking for a whisky that delivers the raw, uncompromising power of Islay in its purest form?

**Laphroaig 10 Years Cask Strength Batch 16** represents the distillery’s most intense expression, bottled at natural strength without dilution or chill-filtration. This cask strength single malt showcases everything that makes Laphroaig legendary – amplified to maximum intensity.

**Technical Specifications:**
