Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Finish

A variant of the classic Laphroaig 10 that, after maturing in bourbon casks, spends a final period in oloroso sherry casks. The sherry doesn’t cover the distillery’s character, with its medicinal smoke, iodine and seaweed, but adds dried fruit, chocolate and a darker sweetness. It is bottled at 48% ABV. It is a good way to see how Islay peat and sherry get along.
