This latest release from the Islay based distillery, is said to deliver a rich and full bodied flavour. The marriage of casks creates notes of Manuka honey, bacon and maple syrup, alongside the classic smoke, seaweed and hint of salt that Laphroaig is famous for.
Commenting on the news, John Campbell, Laphroaig Distillery
Manager, said: “We are so excited to announce the release of our unique and
premium expression, Sherry Oak, taking our iconic Laphroaig 10 Year Old and
finishing it with the sweet flavours of Oloroso sherry cask. This is a perfect
accompaniment to any whisky collection and a celebrated addition to the
Laphroaig range.”
Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak, will be available later
this month from specialist retailers, for a RRP of £65.00.
