Laphroaig 10 Years Old Cask Strength Batch 005

The 2013 batch, number 005, of Laphroaig's 10 Year Old Cask Strength, the full-power version of the flagship released in numbered runs.

Bottled straight from ex-Bourbon at ten years, it runs thicker and oilier than the standard 10.

At 57.2% the peat is fierce and medicinal, vanilla from the oak beneath. Smoke and a medicinal edge lead, as the batches always do.
