Description
The Original Cask Strength is the purest way to experience the taste created by the land, sea and air of Islay.
Aged 10 years, it’s barrier-filtered from the cask to remove unwanted char particles – and that’s all that comes between you and the real Laphroaig.
The folk at Laphroaig don’t chill-filter the Original Cask Strength, and they don’t reduce its natural strength. So, what you pour is what we draw from the barrel — the heart of charred seasoned oak barrels, peat smoke and nutty barley, in a truly natural experience.
Batch 16 is the most powerful expression within the Cask Strength family, characterised by a 58.5% proof point and notes of vanilla and sea salt.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Sweet, stewed apples topped with crispy, slightly caramelized pastry. This is underpinned by hints of cereal, tanned leather and vanilla.
Palate: Upfront sweet and spicy notes, with notes of vanilla and sea salt intermingled with savoury notes of pork crackling with hints of freshly ground black pepper.
Finish: Long, warming finish with notes of gentle spice, charred oak, smoked mackerel and sea salt encapsulated in an oily mouthfeel.
