Laphroaig 10 Years | Whisky Review

[@matfen7978]

I just ordered one bottle for my dad. This video proved that I made a good choice. I love the bond you and your dad have.

[@fleshrocker]

I love seeing a father and son bond like this. Their relationship is special.

Greetings from Finland! I fell in love with Laphroaig aged 10 years whiskey about 20 years ago and the love has been enough to this day. Best whiskey ever!

[@Agonar81]

Another finn here who feels the same way, this is the best.

[@thewhiskyparty]

Amazing dram. Always reach for this Laphroaig in the fall when the weather starts getting chilly.

[@grahamkitchen6650]

Just got a bottle of this Laphroaig 10 year old scottish whisky as a Christmas present from my lovely wife. I can't wait to open & taste. Cheers for sharing ,Gent's 👍

[@drax14QC]

I tasted Laphroaig 10 for the first time at a bar few months ago and I was stunned. So smoky, medicinal and unique! Felt like chewing ashes (which was amazing). The aftertaste lasted forever.

[@robfut9954]

It is definitely a lot more soft and less edgy than it used to be. This is good, as in it taste a bit more composed than in the past… but it’s also bad because it lacks some of the punch that it used to carry. Longtime fans would probably prefer how it used to be, but the newer style is probably more welcoming than before to those new to Isla whiskies. Just as long as they don’t keep going down this road more and more it’s fine.

A defining product showing the traits of Islay Whisky! Hard to go wrong with this. I just wish they offered it at 43-46% ABV as standard. Got to keep the quality and price consistent though. I must have about 15 bottles of different types of Laphroaig at home.

[@drax14QC]

In Canada and US it’s 43% ABV

[@siddeshbandekar1913]

One day hope to find the cask strength atlest on mars 😂🔥

[@rometimed1382]

@@drax14QC I love that here in Canada it's 43% ABV. I rant about this whiskey all the time, even in comparison to Ardbeg 10, Port Charlotte 10 and Lagavulin 16 (which I also love).

[@stephenrice4554]

Always a good review , even if it's an old stager . 👍🇬🇧

[@PaulEcosse]

Will be interesting to see how the supermarkets deal with the pricing on regular every day malt this xmas period.

[@Dan-hn1lx]

This bottle is usually around 85-100 aud dollars. Its one of my favorites but the pricing is just terrible in Australia.

[@robfut9954]

I think everything there is over priced. Government to blame most likely, like Canada. But… you can get Fijian rums cheaper than the UK and US can so these is a silver lining.

This one is it. It's my go to whiskey. I adore it and where it takes my brain. Many many scotches I love for their taste but this one is my favourite so far. My taste test tonight I had a few whiskeys... then an Ardbeg 10... very good... but it smells/tastes what my brain thinks of as an ocean bog. A swamp near the ocean. A cool place. I smell my Lagavulin 16 bottle and it smells like a camp fire very near the ocean. It remembers salt, ocean wind, etc as well as smoke and it also has a focus on the vegetation and fruits nearby. Laphroaig 10, to my taste and smell, is like I'm on an ocean jetty with those seaweed walls next to me and the salt water is flying past my face. The brine is intense. The only other scotch I have smelt sort of like this is Talisker 10. But, oddly, when I tried an Ardbeg 10 tonight... then smelt a Talisker 10 ... ALL THE BRINE AND OCEAN ARE GONE! All that is left is a weird, sweet caramel. Not so with Laphroiag 10. It somehow, even being what many call "bright" shines through an Ardbeg comparison. Nevermind that where I live the Laphroaig is also about 30% less expensive than the Ardbeg 10... it somehow out-muscles it, for me, as a peaty Islay Scotch. Now here in Canada it is 43% alcohol (I understand it's 40% in Europe) but wow does it ever shine.

[@stianaslaksen5799]

Cheers! I like the intensity of this whiskey. I love the smell and taste of the sea, and smoke. Great review!

[@polskus]

This is my first Whisky ever, a friend of mine recently gave me a small bottle as a present. At first it was too much for me, as I only tasted the hefty oaky aroma. Now it is starting to grow on me, as I start to taste the subtler aromas. I tried it with a splash of water too which amplifies the subtler aromas, which for me tasted a bit better.

[@nickvaughan8100]

Laphroaig 10 and talisker 10 my favorites.

[@caelestis5]

First time I tried it I fell in love with it!

[@prestonw3878]

Laphroaig was my first whisky love... There's something intoxicating about peat, separate from the alcohol 😆

[@fjkulwin]

Always a great standby. Is it different since John Campbell left?

[@edwint.1613]

Horst is correct on Laphroaig's 10 price. Its been the same price for a many a year until recently where it has gone up 10 U.S. dollars probably due to inflation (here in the U.S. 60 to 65 U.S. dollars) I noticed that in 2020 and 2021, during the covid-19 years, alot of scotch went up in price (Im guessing because of the decrease of supply and the total shutdown of any production) However, Laphroaig 10 stayed near its price and was much more available than other single malts at that time. In my opinion, I figured the younger and newer generations probably detested Islay's due to their inexperience mostly sticking with top highlands and speyside brand names. It was interesting to see, at the time, how there was a few Lagavulin's, Taliskers, Caol ila, couple of Arbeg's, and several of Laphroaigs on the shelves compared to the other world wide demanded single malts which were near empty or jacked up in price at that time. I for one was quite happy my favorite Islay was near the same in price, and in good supply. (At that time)

Product mention on Succession tonight.

[@markcourtney2205]

Such a beautiful tasting scotch.I dont actually dont find it that intense it is quite sweet..I love it, it is sooo good.

You guys know more about royal warrants the we do in the UK!

[@abzinhoo]

I see

he's not the prince anymore. He's the king.

[@robfut9954]

Unfortunately

[@alleghenyadventures8561]

$60+ in the states.

[@robfut9954]

It’s $45 where I see it, the cask strength though is crazy expensive.

[@70something.89]

I'm very fond on a good whisky. Not to my taste I found it revolting and reminds me strong antiseptic. I'm afraid my bottle was poured down the sink.

[@ransu7327]

Smoky 😋

[@Shane4Bass]

Do Laphroaig really need a royal warrant? Absolutely not!

[@LondonGooner]

They want it the king also loves Scotland shame about that little woman who's been stealing from Scotland whilst pretending to be a nationalist.

[@chillax1415]

I bought this a few days ago and i must say this is the worst whisky i personally have ever tried above £30. Its like petrol, tobacco with a aftertaste of band aid then burnt out camp fire just overwhelmes the mouth. A very strong flavour just not for me 😖
