Laphroaig 10 Year Old Review

This may not be the most revered expression of Laphroaig out there, but don’t take anything away from this entry-level release until you've tried it. The familiar and expected aroma of peated smoke sets the stage while caramelized pecans and an overall nuttiness entice you to take a sip. Orchard fruits refresh the palate, while a wholewheat savory tone balances and stabilizes. Smoky? Of course. Delicious? Absolutely.

Laphroaig 10 Year Old Pros And Cons

Pros
  • Well priced
  • Good depth of flavor beyond peat
Cons
  • Not the best bottle in Laphroaig's lineup
