ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT WHISKY LAPHROAIG 10 YEAR OLD

Laphroaig 10 is a whisky extremely evocative first of all of the island from which it comes: the wonder that dazzles the eyes of visitors to the island of Islay is impossible to forget even years after the first approach to this reality so isolated and yet so warm with those who know how to listen to open heart. The natural beauty of the beaches, the rolling hills where the narrow one-lane roads unravel to reach the tiny towns and distilleries, the sea: everything combines to bring joy to the eyes and heart of the visitor. Laphroaig is located on the South Shore together with two slightly cumbersome neighbors, namely Ardbeg and Lagavulin: three distilleries as close as they are distant in terms of operating philosophy. Without wanting to go into specifics, Laphroaig can also take advantage of the splendid bay on which the facility overlooks, a facility that has been modernized and expanded several times over the centuries but which struggles to distance itself (and fortunately) from the glorious past that began way back 1815, at least in the official version.

Laphroaig 10 Years Old is a bottle characteristic of a certain way of thinking about whisky Scottish, that is, with the peated part to support the many organoleptic notes found in any glass in the world filled with this amber nectar. The refinement is evident, smoothing out the eloquent asperities of a spirit that has never been tamed and which in any case, even on its older brothers with double or triple refinement, continue to emerge and create the true character of Laphroaig.

The maritime part contributes to being noticed among the prerogatives of this whisky: the sea is a stone's throw from the warehouses where the barrels remain waiting for the right moment, influencing the refinement and giving pleasant saline, sea, seafood and iodine notes. Licorice also stands out which, for those who already know the whisky of Laphroaig, is the true trademark of this distillate, a recognizable note among a thousand but which never ceases to amaze for the precision with which it is delivered to the taste buds. What can we say about the medicinal side, the same one that in the past contributed to the myth of Laphroaig as a health elixir, a legend that we would prefer were true and not just the memory of a distant past, of a tradition of oral tales between distant communities.

Today Laphroaig has no intention of moving away from its past but rather, thanks also to the production site rightfully inserted in the panorama of Islay, the strength of this distillery is the philosophical closeness with the place where this spirit is conceived and produced, a union unique between the hard work of the workers and the nature which often remains inclement, between sea storms, rain, wind and ocean temperatures. Difficult to do without this bottle when talking about whisky Scottish, impossible to part with once you have tasted the golden nectar for the first time. A common thread between the first sip and the next.

Laphroaig 10 is the whisky perfect for tackling the big guys whisky Scottish peats and also to take a trip to Islay.
