Dividing opinions since 1815… you sure do Laphroaig!

Laphroaig 10yo certainly is a love-or-hate whisky, but people can change their mind, right? When I first tasted a Laphroaig, I’ve only had a Bowmore 12yo and Caol Ila 12yo in my collection. So my taste for peat wasn’t really developed to the full extent.

My love for peated whiskies came gradually, until I realized I couldn’t live without anymore. I’ve tasted many Laphroaigs, from the quarter cask to the 18yo and from the Lore to the the Brodir. I never really paid attention to the 10yo, until we went to Islay.

My love for the Laphroaig 10yo reignited instantly. How have I ever lived so long without? It’s much fruitier than I remembered. And the peat and barley smell brings me back to the visit we made.

A must-have and truly something you’ll have to revisit if you didn’t like it in the past!
