-13%Pour this and the room knows. Big curl of bonfire smoke, a lick of sea salt, then this cheeky sweetness sneaks in just when you think it's all peat. It's the Islay malt people get tattoos about. Laphroaig 10 is not shy and not for everyone, and that's exactly why you want it. One sip and you've picked a side. Perfect for a slow, cold Nairobi night when you want a dram with actual personality.
The nose hits first: woodsmoke, a coastal seaweedy tang, a whiff of that famous medicinal note people describe as 'plaster' or iodine (trust us, it works). On the palate it's full and oily, big peat smoke rolling over your tongue, then a real surprise of vanilla and sweetness from the ex-bourbon barrels, with salt prickling the edges. The finish is long, warming and smoky, hanging around for ages. It's gold in the glass and bold the whole way down.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Laphroaig comes from Islay, a windswept little island off Scotland's west coast that punches way above its size on smoky whisky. The distillery sits right on the shore and has been going since 1815, started by the Johnston brothers. The signature flavour is no accident: they cut peat from their own bogs and still do some of their own floor malting, drying the barley over that peat smoke for hours so the 'peat reek' soaks right in. Then it's a full ten years in ex-bourbon barrels. Salt air, peat fire, charred oak, that's the whole story in your glass.
