The Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Finish takes the distillery’s classic 10-year-old expression and adds a new dimension through finishing in Oloroso sherry casks. Initially aged in ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky develops Laphroaig’s iconic peaty Islay character before being enriched with the sweetness and complexity of sherry wood. Bottled at 43% ABV, it offers a bold yet balanced take on a distillery favourite.
