Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak FinishIslay Single Malt Scotch WhiskyDistillery Bottling 70cl 48% Two of the things that single malt fans like the best are peated whisky and sherry casks, so this 10 year old Laphroaig Sherry Oak Finish is a nailed on winner if ever we saw one. Introduced to the distillery's core range in spring 2021, Laphroaig 10 year old Sherry Oak Finish begins life in refill sherry and bourbon casks, before spending the last 12 18 months of its maturation in Oloroso

This is super dark stuff and should make for quite a beast of a dram in the glass

Long-aged Glenrothes is rare nowadays which is a shame because - like so many great Speysiders - it ages beautifully

This is an unusual bottle for Haig as it doesn't have an age statement - most Dimples of the era were 12-year-old versions

I think this is the real sleeper hit and probably the best value one of the lot back in 2012
