Laphroaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength: Islay’s Peat Monster
This iconic Scotch ranges around 57.8% ABV with intense peat smoke, iodine, seaweed, and vanilla flavors. Whisky lovers sip it neat or with a splash of water to release complex aromas. Each batch varies slightly in strength. A 750ml bottle costs $80-120. The devoted following among peat enthusiasts keeps demand strong. The distillery still malts some barley on traditional floor maltings. The medicinal character comes partly from proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.
