Laphroaig 10 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

During the second distillation, the head and tail of the run are discarded, and only the middle cut is used to be pumped into oak casks for maturing. Selecting the correct portion of the run to save for the middle cut can significantly impact the spirit’s flavor. Laphroaig discards more from the first cut (the head) and takes the second cut (the tail) later than the industry average, making it less sweet and retaining its tarry, medicinal, peaty notes. Aging Donald bought the farm from his brother Alexander who emigrated to Australia. Donald only lived until 1847. Rumor has it that he drowned after falling into a vat of partially-made whisky.
