What does it taste like?
Laphroaig 10 is deeply smoky and full-bodied. Its clearest signposts are medicinal peat, seaweed, vanilla. The profile is not a laboratory measurement; it is a practical way to compare its direction with other whiskeys.
How to approach it
Take a small neat sip first and give the smoke time. A few drops of water may reveal citrus, sweetness and malt behind the peat.
