A Unique Twist on a Classic Single Malt
 
Introducing the Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Finish, a remarkable expression that builds upon the legendary flavors of Laphroaig's classic 10 Year Old whisky. This exceptional single malt undergoes initial maturation in ex-Bourbon barrels, adhering to the time-honored traditions that Laphroaig is known for. The journey continues as the whisky is transferred to carefully hand-selected Oloroso sherry casks, where it gains an additional layer of sweet and complex notes.
 
Craftsmanship and Complexity
 
The Laphroaig 10 Sherry Oak Finish stands out due to its finishing process in European oak Oloroso sherry barrels. This stage of maturation imparts a distinctive character to the whisky, enhancing its inherent peaty profile with rich sherry-influenced flavors. Each barrel is chosen for its ability to complement and intensify the robust qualities of Laphroaig, creating a single malt that is both memorable and complex.
