Whisky: Liquid History
LAPHROAIG 10 YEAR OLD PRE-ROYAL WARRANT 26 2/3 FL OZ
LAPHROAIG 10 YEAR OLD PRE-ROYAL WARRANT
Single malt.
Founded in 1815, and often considered to be the whisky equivalent of Marmite (in that you either love it or hate it), Laphroaig is a smoky, medicinal tasting whisky from the south coast of Islay. Clearly more people fall into the “love” category though, as Laphroaig is one of the top ten best selling single malts in the world. Just as well, then, that it is the second largest distillery on the island (after Caol Ila), capable of producing 3.4 million litres of spirit per annum.
The distillery still retains its own malting floor, and although it only covers 20% of their requirements, it is instrumental in providing the creosote-y, phenolic character that defines the Laphroaig spirit.
This older style 10-Year-OId, was likely bottled in the 1960s
70° Proof / 26 2/3 FL OZ
