The iconic Laphroaig 10 year old has was first introduced by Ian Hunter three quarters of a century ago. Since then it has become a staple peat-heads and Islay-philes the world 'round. 43% ABV.
Evan's Tasting Note
Nose: Coastal, floral, and deep, earthy peat smoke. lavender potpourri and iodine, toast with salty butter, apple turnover, lemonade, liquorice tea, Fisherman's Friend lozenges and ashy embers from a fire pit.
Palate: Chalky, floral and salty on the palate with that earthy peat smoke again. Rosemary ham, lemon and lime citrus notes, green apples, Parma Violet candies and a touch of anise.
Finish: Smokey and floral all the way down. Even with all of that dirty peat and iodine, there is still a freshness to it.
Comment: If you don't like peat, then this is everything you were always warned about. If you enjoy peat, then this is everything you ever wanted. The Laphroaig 10 should be and nearly always is near the top of any list of classic Islay whiskies, and for very good reason.

Casks were much smaller in the 19th C. than today. They gradually grew as the industry did, the larger casks being more cost-effective. But something was lost in the switch to big. The smaller casks gave the whisky up to 60% more exposure to oak thereby intensifying the maturation process. Laphroaig has recreated this style by transferring still maturing whisky into quarter casks for finishing.

Laphroaig's peat is principally what makes it different. Harvested in a low-lying part of the island it has layers of salt and seaweed not found in other peat deposits. This gives Laphroaig a medicinal, briny, smoky character distinctly different from all other Islay whiskies as well as any other made elsewhere in the world. Laphroaig is among on 6 distilleries which malt some of their own barley.

A new no age statement whisky from the Laphroaig Distillery on Islay. Produced from a combination of Oloroso sherry butts, virgin American white oak, PX seasoned hogsheads, Quarter Casks and finally of course first fill Bourbon Casks. Bottled at 40%.
Producer Description: "Our master distiller carefully draws whisky matured the historic way in Oloroso sherry butts, Pedro Ximinez seasoned hogsheads, and first-fill bourbon quarter casks to create this distinctive blend. The heart is drawn from a final maturation in new, American oak — a rarity in Scotch whisky production — which adds bold flavor. The final addition is our quintessential single malt scotch, Laphroaig 10, which is aged for a decade. With flavors of smoky peat, spicy oak and a surprising sweetness, Laphroaig Select is a fantastic introduction to peated whisky."
