Matured fully in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at natural cask strength, Laphroaig 10 Year Old Original Cask Strength Batch 16 amplifies the iconic Islay character of the distillery. This December 2022 release delivers unfiltered, uncompromising intensity, showcasing the smoky, medicinal, and maritime flavours that define Laphroaig. Presented without chill-filtration, this bottling offers a pure expression of the original 10-year-old spirit.
Founded in 1815 on the southern coast of Islay, Laphroaig Distillery is renowned for its heavily peated single malts with medicinal and coastal characteristics. Its unique flavour comes from traditional floor malting, peat smoke drying, and maturation in warehouse buildings just metres from the Atlantic Ocean. Revered for both its loyal following and divisive character, Laphroaig continues to be one of the most iconic distilleries in Scotch whisky.

Batch 16 continues a revered tradition of annual limited releases, making it a compelling addition for collectors and peat lovers alike.
