Laphroaig 10 Year Old Scotch Islay Single Malt Whisky 70cl - RV Drinks

One of the most intense Islay malts in existence, this iconic whisky delivers an extremely smoky, medicinal character built on peat, seaweed and iodine that's made drinkers either fervent devotees or firm sceptics with no middle ground. Huge smoke and seaweed dominate the nose alongside a distinctly medicinal edge and a hint of sweetness, developing into a full-bodied palate with surprising sweetness balancing hints of salt and layers of peatiness, closing on a lingering finish where smoke, brine and iodine intertwine, delivering the unmistakable, uncompromising Laphroaig experience that's remained essentially unchanged since 1815.
