Laphroaig 10-Year Cask Strength, Batch 17

What you pour is drawn directly from the cask, an unyielding tribute to craftsmanship. Laphroaig’s Batch 17 is a testament to tradition: a whisky of radiant gold, aged for a full decade, and bottled at a robust 58.3% ABV. In preserving its powerful essence, we rely only on barrier filtration, removing char particles while maintaining its purity. There’s no chill filtration, no dilution of its natural strength—what you pour is exactly what we’ve drawn from the cask.

True to our unmistakable identity, this whisky boldly carries the spirit of Islay. Peat smoke, heather, and sea salt dominate, balanced with a rich sweetness that greets you from the first sip. Notes of stewed apples, vanilla cream, and syrupy pears intertwine, gently kissed by a touch of cool menthol.

The finish is long and rewarding for the adventurous palate. Expect a lively peppery spice and sweet, grassy smoke, gradually giving way to the characteristic tarry peat aroma.

Whether enjoyed neat to savor the raw intensity of Islay’s finest, or with a splash of water—just as we do at the distillery to reveal its softer nuances—this whisky is yours to experience on your terms.

This is our tradition, and we are proud to share it with you.
