Whisky Reviews for Laphroaig 10-year-old

112 users have left a review for this whisky and scored it an average of 83.15 points

  1. Slàinte Mhath scored this whisky 82 points Administrator

    A revelation to some but simply disgusting to others, Laphroaig 10 is arguably the most intense of all Single Malts. Your taste buds are shocked by the unfamiliar, dominated by dry peatiness. The nose reminds of an old steam engine, road tar and burned rubber. Rotting seaweed, iodine and mineral notes combine with chimney smoke, TCP and a cold ashtray. Flavorwise, an overwhelming phenolic blast subdues the underlying sweetness. Crisp oak and salty dryness characterize the peaty finish. Whether you love it or hate it, you will never forget it!

  2. Blo scored this whisky 80 points Expert Senior

    Nice one, with a quite singular profile. But too reduced. Not my favourite among the entry-level Islayers, but a must try. Lacks a bit more ABV and complexity to get an higher score in my view.
    (Why did they coloured it ?)
    • Nose
      Vanilla, medicinal peat (it smells a bit the hospital, or old people's home). Clear influence of ex bourbon wood. A bit sugarry. Not too weak at 40%. The more aeration it gets, the less the peat is present.
    • Taste
      Yeah, the medicinal notes are more present than on the nose. So is the reduction, unfortunately... This a bit too weak despite a nice profile, with vanilla, meds. Not very complex but it works.
    • Finish
      Medium, on medicinal peat.

    Not really my personal taste

  6. davidloosli scored this whisky 83 points Expert Junior

    • Nose
      Peat, sweet and medicinal, grassy, ash, white pepper, olives, gets fruitier after a while
    • Taste
      Smoky, peat bitterness, blood orange, walnut, a touch of vanilla sweetness, a hint of caramel
    • Finish
      A tad bit watery, bitter vegetable (artichoke?), cigar ash, Mocha, if you let it rest you get more sweetness from the finish (caramel and vanilla)

  7. EnjoyLife89 scored this whisky 79 points Expert Junior

    For me actually rather unspectacular. Know much better Laphroaigs, but still a good standard.
    • Nose
      Phenolic smoke (extremely intense for 40%) iodine, maritime, spices and recognizable and then a nice sweetness
    • Taste
      Sweet, then smoke. At first short spicy sharpness, then comes a maritime and salty flair. Seaweed and juicy smoke.
      After a long time in the mouth a clear iodine note comes out.
    • Finish
      Long, slightly dry smoke, but not astringent, sweet, some spices and then salty.

  10. Stanzeflasche scored this whisky 86 points Expert Senior

    The nose is good medicinal peat, iodized, with a hint of ether, salt and lemon. And this smell of bandages, it's really betadine? It's like walking through the corridors of a hospital. In the background, I notice dried fruits and wood, maybe some dark chocolate, or mocha.
    The appetizer is a little light, it lacks a few degrees, but it is warm and friendly, with liquorice stick, more salt than caramel, pepper, cola. It's almost sparkling.
    There is coffee in the finish, but with very little bitterness, and still chocolate. It's long in the mouth, deep, slightly oily, spicy (cumin I would say, and a pinch of paprika).
    It's a whisky that I like a lot, one of my favorites.
