Laphroaig 10YO Sherry Oak Finish

Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Finish is a distinctive twist on the iconic Islay single malt, combining classic Laphroaig peat smoke with the richness of Oloroso sherry cask finishing. Aged for ten years in ex-bourbon barrels before being transferred into European oak sherry casks, this expression delivers the unmistakable medicinal peat character of Laphroaig, layered with dark fruit, spice and sweet oak.

Bouquet
Powerful and complex. Notes of iodine-rich peat smoke, sea salt and bonfire ash meet sweet aromas of dried fig, dark chocolate, clove and polished leather. Sherry richness rises through the smokiness with elegance.

Palate
Bold, smoky and luxuriously textured. Sweet peat smoke wraps around flavours of black cherry, cinnamon, burnt toffee and spiced orange. The Oloroso casks contribute depth and a silky richness, with a long, dry finish full of smoke, oak and warm sherry spice.

Food Pairing
Enjoy neat or with a few drops of water to open up its layers. Ideal alongside blue cheese, charcuterie, dark chocolate or roasted game meats. Also pairs beautifully with a fine cigar or as a slow-sipping after-dinner dram.

Cellaring
Perfectly matured and ready to enjoy now. Will remain stable for many years unopened. Once opened, best enjoyed over 2–3 years for optimal complexity.

Interesting Fact
While Laphroaig is famous for its intensely peated style, the sherry cask finish adds a softer, more rounded dimension—making this a favourite among peat lovers who appreciate added richness and depth.
