Founded in 1815, Laphroaig Distillery is located on the southern coast of Islay and is renowned for producing single malt whiskies with the most intense and singular peat profiles. While its name translates from Gaelic as “the beautiful hollow by the broad bay,” the character of Laphroaig is anything but mellow—it is rugged, raw, and unapologetically honest.

The distinctive aromas of iodine, seaweed, and medicinal ointments can be startling at first, yet they soon reveal a deep and addictive charm. Traditional floor maltings, cold-smoking with peat, and seaside maturation all coalesce to define the powerful impression that is “Laphroaig.”

Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Finish is a richer, more opulent expression that layers Spanish Oloroso Sherry cask maturation over Laphroaig’s signature intense peat smoke and briny maritime notes. By finishing the traditional Bourbon-cask-aged spirit in Sherry casks, the raw power of the standard 10-year-old is enhanced with the depth of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and cinnamon. It is a unique expression that maintains Laphroaig’s rugged charm while introducing the smooth, generous character of Sherry.
