Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - Batch 15

As you'd expect, Batch 15 is already sold out via the distillery website, demonstrating that these cask strength offerings are losing no momentum, or that the latest batch is particularly worth seeking out - or both! Peat smoke, heather and sea salt run wild at 56.5% ABV. Get it while you can.

Other reviews... We do not follow all batches, all I'll say is that I've kept one of those early 1-litre 'green stripe' versions stashed away. I agree, not the same paradigm, having said that I thought last year's batch 14 had been very good (WF 86)… Colour: gold. Nose: perhaps a little too much wood smoke at first, too many wood spices too, but the rest seems to be rather perfect, salty, medicinal, in short Laphroaig. With water: paint! Then engine grease and tarmac, and of course those old tarry ropes found on a beach at low tide etc. Now any proper medicinal note has gone. Mouth (neat): good, powerful, piney and salty arrival, with crystallised lemons in the back and a growing smokiness. With water: straightforward, peaty, once again a tad too much on oak spices for me (hell, let's just forget about those stunning tropical fruit in the early versions!) but it still has it, largely.  Finish: long, rather tarry, simply much more on straight smoke than older young Laphroaigs.
