Description
Laphroaig 10 year old Sherry Oak Finish
Laphroaig 10 Sherry Oak is a richly textured single malt whisky that builds upon the bold character of our classic 10 Year Old expression. Matured in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in hand-selected Oloroso sherry oak casks, this whisky introduces a harmonious balance between our signature peated smoke and the layered sweetness of dried fruits, aromatic honey, and warming spice. The result is a complex and unforgettable dram that deepens the traditional Laphroaig experience with added richness and depth.
Laphroaig Distillery
This distillery was officially founded in 1815 by brothers Alex and Don Thomson. Rumours have it that the brothers were distilling 'in secret' before they even acquired a license to distill. Laphroaig remained under the ownership of the founders and their successors until 1954.
Don Thomson fell into a pot of boiling ale while at work and died in 1847. Local storytellers will sometimes tell visitors tales about the 'haunted' warehouses at the distillery where his ghost has been seen in the past.
