Laphroaig 10 Year Original Cask Strength Batch 016 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

WE90

Laphroaig 10 Year Cask Strength is Laphroaig's flagship bottled straight from the cask, without chill filtering, as whisky was before water was added. This is Batch 016, bottled in December 2022 at 58.5% (117 proof).

At full strength the Islay peat is bigger and oilier: smoke, vanilla and light floral notes on the nose, then peat, olive brine, espresso and dark chocolate, with plenty of heat. A splash of water opens up more sweetness. Each batch differs a little in strength.

For Laphroaig at full power, this is our pick. For the standard bottling, choose Laphroaig 10; for a sherry-finished version, see Laphroaig 10 Sherry Oak Finish.

Add water a few drops at a time, and sip it slowly.

We carry it in the 750ml size. It is also on our peated Scotch page. More bottles are under single malt Scotch, and the rest of our Scotch is a click away. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery across NYC.

Wine Enthusiast (2015, an earlier batch) found it lives up to Laphroaig's heavy peat: smoky, with vanilla and light floral notes, then olive brine, espresso and chocolate, and the intensity and burn of cask strength.
