Laphroaig 10 Years Old Cask Strength Batch 012

At 60.1%, Batch 012 (2020) is one of the most powerful in the cask strength 10 series, the undiluted flagship pushed near 60 percent. Non-chill-filtered, as the batches always are.

Ten years in ex-Bourbon and no dilution build a thick, oily medicinal smoke.

The peat is fierce at this strength, vanilla and an oily weight underneath. The notes run to smoke, a medicinal edge, leather, citrus, an oily texture and vanilla.
