Description
Made in a time-honoured way laid down by two centuries of master distillers, Laphroaig Sherry Oak Finish starts the same way as our other single malt scotch whiskies.
The malted barley is cold-smoked and dried over a peat fire, where it picks up the distinctive smoky flavour which makes our peated whisky so beloved.
After distillation, the spirit matures for ten years in a combination of refill Oloroso sherry barrels and American oak ex-bourbon barrels.
For its final transformation, it’s moved into European Oak Oloroso sherry barrels where it takes on and develops sweet and spicy aromas — along with a deep amber colour like liquid gold.
This unique expression from Laphroaig combines the unforgettable flavour of our 10-year-old whisky with the sweet, aromatic flavours from the Oloroso sherry casks.
This marriage of casks creates a rich, full-bodied flavour with notes of Manuka honey, bacon and maple syrup alongside the classic smoke, seaweed and hint of salt that Laphroaig is known & loved for.
The European oak sherry casks are carefully selected to complement the unique and much-loved taste of Laphroaig.
The additional sweetness and character of the Oloroso casks add complexity and balance to create a unique and exciting expression, but one that stays true to the character of Laphroaig.
