Laphroaig 10 Year Old

General description

Strong peat smoky flavor with sweet finish. Good islay but not great. Decent whiskey for the money but there are better scotches for the money.

General description

th first taste is mild sweet then sharp and a very rich and smokey aftertaste, smells like soft sweet and liqorish fungus

General description

Dry after taste, no wather required.
I like it.

General description

Very smoky. Underneath the smoke is a remembrance of hospital smell. Smoky as well in taste. Long finish. Quite similar with Ardbeg 10 but with less sweet notes.

General description

Smokey and peaty, just the way I like them

General description

one of my favourites. very peaty and characteristic taste. sparked my interest in whisky.

General description

had it in a bar, not sure if the taste has been changed being an opened bottle. I was surprised by the fact that it was not as smoky as I have expected it to be

General description

Turpeinen, savuinen, ehkä jopa liikaa

Nose

lievästi pistävä, jopa vähän tunkkainen

Finish

pitkä pehmenee loppuun

General description

Bon whisky, fumé, tourbé à souhait, rond, pas agressif mais ... un peu simple, palette aromatique limitée
Un goût médicinal bien original mais manquant de complexité.

General description

Iodine, smoke. Smoke, light brine and lemons on the mouth. Finishes with a bit spice...cedar? Medium finish, really like this.

General description

Peaty with a smooth warm finish

General description

Strong taste but to sweet for me

General description

Strong iodine smell, peaty with a vanilla taste. Lingering after taste. Would highly recommend

General description

A long, long, long time ago... this Stuff was my first experience of Islay malts... And this is whisky which made me fall in love with Islay malts...😍

Nose

Peat, smoky, medicinal, rich brown sugar...

Palate

Peat, seaweed, vanilla, iodine, dark chocolate...

Finish

Smoky, spicy, sea salt, kelp...

General description

Very Peaty and very nice

General description

Clear and peaty. Closely to Ardbeg 10 but not so hot and spicy. For peaty lovers. The second for me after Ardbeg, but it is the second best.

General description

Old cigar and tar.

Finish

General description

woah, amazing
iodine, seaweed, medicinal herbs, liquorice. Everything is matched with an abundance of peat and smoke
Very long finish

Wonderful Islay's expression.
To be honest I prefer the QC even though it's a little bit more expensive

General description

try the quarter cask..

General description

Very peaty and full of character. Not an easy drink but definitely an experience.

General description

medicinal

General description

Peat/smoke and some salt.

General description

Zachte, volle smaak. Je ruikt en proeft turf.

Nose

General description

Truly sublime, smoky, salty and medicinal.

General description

One of the only whiskies I can’t stand. Rips my throat out every time I try a dram

General description

niet helemaal mijn ding. Hier moet je echt van houden

General description

a must if u like peat

General description

This would be an excellent pick for someone who likes peat a lot

General description

peaty smoky small beast. lot of peat in smell, smoke and tarr, old railway sleepers, som chemicals, bandaids and finally fruits and chocolate. sharp astringent taste with lot of smoke, moonshine bit metallic. long creamy finish with old wood.
it takes time to get used to peaty whisky but it is worth it

General description

Very strong smoke taste.
For the price one of the best.

Nose

Smoke smoke and smoke

Palate

peat, smoke and smooth alcohol

Finish

peat, smoke

General description

peat, smoke, good

General description

Really don’t like this, too harsh and burnt. Just a taste of burnt peat.

General description

Mijn favoriete herfst en winter whisky. Zeer uitgesproken whisky. Love it or hate it.

General description

i love the this one. smoke, salt, sea, hospital. like a smokey slap in your face. first on the nose its heavy smoke, but later it flows away and it becomes sweeter. 100/100 for price worthy

General description

Medical, peaty, in one word genius

General description

I’ve been drinking this 10-year-old Islay for well over 15 years. I find it to be consistent in its strength, complexity, and overall characteristics. It lives up to its reputation for being heavy in peat and smoke. After trying other Islay Scotches, I’ve settled on this, Ardbeg and Laphroaig quarter cask. Compared to the 18-year-old and some other Laphroaig caskings it is much rougher, but more complex. Iodine, smoke and peat dominate with some sweet. Great with beef, a cigar or chocolate.

Nose

Smoky, medicinal and sweet.

Palate

Starts like iodine, mellows to smoky and sweet.

Finish

Smoke. My wife thinks I’ve been smoking a cigar!

General description

Very interesting peat and smoke blend. Earthy and pharmaceutical on the nose. Sharp and complex in the mouth. Earthy aftertaste.

Nose

pharmaceutical, peat, smoke

Palate

earth, smoke, sharp

Finish

smooth, peat, earth.

General description

medicine, smoke, peat, salt, balanced

General description

Many people like the heavily peated taste, but to me these taste like anticeptic. Low rating from me as I gave the bottle away.

General description

always a fine choice

General description

erdig, torfig, rauchig, intensiv, seetang, leicht medizinisch

General description

First introduction to heavy peat flavor, keep coming back to it.

General description

heavy earth, peat, rich, smoke, warm, salt, pine

General description

This one is very gentle, easy drinking peat. Excellent value, one of my favourites to buy regularly

General description

It is like frenchkissing an ashtray and loving it!

Nose

iodine, seaweed, salt, big fat lumps of smoky peat, wet burned ashes and charcoal, phenolic

Taste

a bit sharp the first moment, but than all of its smokiness reveals itselves. Peat mixed with smoke of burnt wood and wet cigars (if this makes sense), a faint touch of oak followed by a stronger sensation of salt, with in the background just a little touch of vanilla sweetness and, finally,  in the throat some salty liquorice

Finish

long and smoky, ash, with some smoked nutts in the end to give it just a little sweet note at the very end.

General description

Peat, iodine, seaweed, but not too briny, BBQ and citrus, pushes you to being a peathead if you like it or not, this whisky embodies go hard or go home

General description

I started to like smoky whiskeys after the first sip of this one, it has all the great tastes that I enjoy from a good whisky!

General description

ITS MEANT TO TASTE LIKE THAT!!!!

General description

Sweet and smoky ending in a salty and bitter finish. A pleasant and peaty dram that doesn't really astound but is fairly enjoyable. I would appreciate more explosiveness on the palate and added complexity on the nose.

General description

torfig, rauchig, mild

General description

Yaaasss!

General description

Heavy black earth and peat with a wee touch of smoke and burn

Nose

smoke fire, burnt oak, peat

Palate

dry peat and woodsmoke, a bit of tobacco

Finish

smooth with a simmering burn

General description

love the smell of this whiskey feels like you are on the Scottish highlands

General description

Smoky, iodine, salty, sharp

General description

Lots of peat, not for everyone but I'm one of the lucky ones!

General description

A lot of peat, not for beginners.

General description

ein sehr torfiger rauchigen Whiskey typisch für die region

General description

too smokey

General description

Not the taste of Mine. The Prince is not fitting at all. There are better Whiskeys made by Discounters.
I prefer the products of Talisker.

General description

Plenty of smoke in a wonderfully smooth character which follows all the way through. Medicinal qualities.

Not as good as the Quarter Cask.

Nose

Smoked Wood & cigars, a subtle warm fruity sweetness.

Palate

Smoky woods & gently herbaceous, nothing overpowering; in-fact really quite smooth. Spices arise from the oak character.

Finish

Smooth, gentle pepper presents carrying more smoke and a gentle peat.

General description

nose is peat and menthol 8 minute airtime. palate is peat, menthol, wheatgrass, spearmint, burnt mesquite long finish. a whole meal in one 4 minute sip. Great whiskey

General description

torfig, nichts für Anfänger, aber sehr lecker

General description

Generic Laphroaig. Smooth and peaty. Usually available at most pubs, so it's a great go to.

General description

Medicinal and iodine flavors overwhelm

General description

iodine and light smoke aromas. light peat and smoke flavour. Supple sweet and spice finish.

General description

Smokey but ironically light on peat, this whisky provides the brine and iodine flavors in perfect harmony with the heavy, almost creosote, smoke.

General description

the scotch of my youth!

General description

absolutely beautiful.

General description

Starke Nase, Nadelwald, Kräuter, Eukalyptus, Feuchtes Holz. Im Geschmack rauchig, barbecue, Kümmel. Angenehmer torfig, betäubender Abgang. Als rauchiger Standard definitiv empfehlenswert und etwas günstiger als der direkte Konkurrent Ardbeg Ten welcher etwas mehr Rauch hat, dafür gibt der Laphroaig mehr Geschmacksrichtungen her und wirkt komplexer.

General description

Very good dram for the money, but I like the quarter cask much more. Simply gives more input.

Nose

Strong smoke creeping around the glass and into the nose. Phenolice iodine. Lemongras and ginger. And a little aniseed.

Palate

Warm, smoky, dry, a bit vanilla.

Finish

Peaty medium finish with light oak bitterness and a creamy mouthfeel.

General description

Classic "band-aid" nose and palate. Very strong smoke and peat, my kind of Scotch. You will either love or hate this whisky, I love it

General description

One of my favorite standards. Smokey barbecue. Massive, rich peat. Barley sugar. Some vanillins. Finish is only medium length, but who cares? it's delicious, and amazing for its price.

General description

one of my standard whiskys to have at home

General description

Very smoky and very strong on the nose and the flavour. For me very well combined with sweet milk chocolate.

Nose

Smoke and Iron.

Palate

Smoke, peaty and a hint of salt.

Finish

Smooth but heavy and long.

General description

en kraftig whisky med duft af læder og tjære

General description

stevige en smaakvolle whisky

Nose

peat, seaweed, banana's

Palate

peat, salt

General description

Wonderfully peaty

General description

omg,

General description

One of my standards.

General description

Very smokey

General description

Smokey and Peaty. As the bottle empties, it mellows to reveal honey flavors.

General description

Smooth, smoky and peaty

General description

Good tasty and fragrant whisky. Smokey, but somewhat less enjoyable than Ardbeg for my taste.

General description

Nicely smokey with a touch of wood. Always a good choise!

General description

A go to whisky as daily dram for peat lovers. Smoke, peat, iodine, not for everyone. Dividing opinions is their slogan for a reason now.

General description

The go to peaty malt; smokey iodine with a sweet malty finish.

General description

smooth and flavorful

General description

Nice whiskey its a hint of medicine but not to much. Definitely not a beginner's whiskey. I like it, and the price is good! Best drank with a dash of water.

Nose

Smoke, hidden away fruits.

Finish

Strong finish stays with you for a while.

General description

A great full bodied scotch that hits you with peat and smoke across the room. A beautiful attack with sea salt, pears, and a dash of medicine. The finish lingers for a moment with a slightly harsh refrain of the same flavors. All in all, a good peated scotch, but needs a couple more years in the barrel.

Nose

Strong notes of peat, smoke, and sea salt.

Palate

Oily palate with notes of pears, peat, iodine, and seaweed.

Finish

Harsh, but good length. Shows it's peatiness here too.

General description

Great peated malt

General description

nice peated scotch but lucks alcohol

General description

A massive peat punch, but I really like it. Briney, smokey, great

General description

Though the 15 year Laphroaig is Sublime the 10 year is just too young and harsh.

General description

A classic Laphroaig. Quite heavily peated (which I like) as a Laphroaig should be. Not quitethe character you get from older Laphroaigs but still a really nice dram.

General description

Lovely stuff. Favourite thing I have tried so far on my short whiskey tasting journey. Smokey the way I like it.

General description

really peated, good one for starters

General description

Too peaty for me more like cough medicine

Nose

Strong

Palate

Really peaty

General description

peat overdose

General description

peated!!

General description

Een geur van rook gevuld met jodium, teer en zeezout. De smaak is verrassend fris met citrus en zoetig. Echt een heel aparte whisky. Top!!

General description

Very strong smoke and peat. Lots of other flavours. Typical Islay. Will buy again.

General description

Peated, smoked. Smooth but provocative. Unforgettable.

General description

beautiful pure smoke

General description

very smoky taste and smell. my new favourite

General description

lots of flavoure. strong. peated. so fare my favorit..

General description

lovely peated, wait 8-10 minutes before seeping

General description

fait le job.une valeur sûre.

General description

So tasty. Such a strong peaty/smokey smell and taste

General description

first whiskeys i have had so hard to say.. well smoked beers are better than.. so here we are..good, but not much to reference against

Nose

light smoke

General description

Rauch, Rauch und Rauch

Nose

Sehr viel Rauch, Desinfektionsmittel, Jod, leichte Vanille

Palate

Wieder viel Rauch und medizinisch, dabei mild und ölig, etwas Salz

Finish

Lange verbleibender Rauch, etwas Eichenwürze

General description

An excellent whisky. if you like smoke or peat and haven't tried this your doing it wrong.

General description

Peaty, smoky, iodine and faint fruits (possibly plum?). Nice neat but a drop of water really brings out the best of the flavours.

General description

very smokey with some fruity ubdertones

Nose

smoke

General description

Medicinal TCP flavour, over overwhelming peaty taste

General description

Too peaty for me, but generally good
.

General description

very oily, one taste all the way through... namely the band-aid flavor. I don't think it's as bold as I expected...very smooth but that peat flavor just isn't for me.

General description

very smoky one, love it!

General description

Smoke and peat with sea weed and iodine...Nice on palate

General description

Rich peat flavour but balanced well with sweet taste.

General description

Very strong peat taste. It overpowers the drink

General description

beautiful nose: warm and smoky, but deep
palate: short and sweet, not a strong burn.
A very good everyday peated whisky

General description

Gross. If one were to stew bandaids in Anbesol, throw in a little alcohol and dirt, they'd have a pretty close match to Laphroaig. I guess I'm not sophisticated enough for this one.

General description

a real peat monster. lots of smoke and some iodine. besides that, it has a nice sweet taste also. the finish is a little dry.

Nose

peat, smoke...more peat and smoke. also a little medicinal. iodine/bandage

Palate

first a very nice sweet taste. not long after that the peat and smoke kick in.

Finish

a little dry and smokey finish. in a good way ;-)

General description

Strong smoke taste.

General description

Its after nightfall. Men sit around a campfire laughing and telling stories. The smell of the sea hangs heavily in the air. They have just finished a meal of fresh venison stew. Suddenly shots ring out. Someone has just realized that instead of packing a nice kentucky bourbon or speyside scotch, some asshole brought Laphroaig. Kidding aside, Islay scotches are an acquired taste. I appreciate it for what it is....primal, smoky, peaty, and delicious after a hearty meal.

General description

rauchig - torfig, salzig wie das Meer

General description

nice. gotta be in the mood for fire

General description

Medizin krankenhaus

Nose

phenolisch erinnert an krankenhaus dezente süße

Palate

rauchig, sehr starke phenolische Richtung , dezente süße

Finish

General description

Excellent whisky!

General description

Wow !! What a great Islay whisky !! Laphroaig 10 Years always returns in my collection.

General description

Medicinal odour, but quite sweet and greatly gentle. Love it or hate it. Amazing product.

General description

very peaty and smokey. spicy in the finish.
takes time tasting

General description

heavy peat, malty sweetness well balanced. sometimes too heavy for me

General description

One of my favorites. Love the peat and smoke flavor.

General description

Delicious peat and smoky flavor.

General description

Rich and peaty, but a bit medical. Needs more time to compare to the likes of Laga, but a strong example of Islay at a drinkable price.

General description

not good. peat flavoring is not my thing.

General description

Very enjoyable.

General description

Superb!

General description

Peat and smoke; very unique; amazing!

General description

Legendary Islay classic. Peaty, smoky, salty. Good value.

Nose

Phenolic smoke, peat and salt. Sweetness coming slowly. Not very complex.

Palate

Smoke above sweetness. Salted honey, some maritime notes. Not as peaty as the nose. Pretty smooth.

Finish

Medium. Would be better with higher alcohol level.

General description

cracking whisky, smoke, peat, and sea salt!

General description

Bit too much smoke for my liking. Bit if that's your thing it's great as an everyday dram

General description

Sublime

General description

Like drinking a campfire. My absolute favorite.

General description

Troppo affumicato

General description

Un de mes préférés dans les classiques.

General description

iodine, hospital, first glass strong taste, when tasting more whisky's before laphroaig, less strong.

General description

For me this whisky is the pure taste of Islay. Smoke, peat, salt, oak and a surprising sweetness. Tastes like a campfire on the beach.

General description

good whisky with smoky taste

General description

Erittäin maukasta.

General description

Typisch für diese Marke ist der Ölige geschmack

General description

Great whiskey, sampled with a good friend in conjunction with Balvenie 12 yr double wood, and enjoyed both a great deal! This one ìs definitely smokier, but had less flavour.

General description

Fantastische whisky! Zeer mannelijk! Stevig rokerige turf smaak. Afdronk is toch zacht en lang. Geweldig voor de koude winter dage

General description

A bit more smoky. The smoke covers much of flavour, but still tasty.
