This is simply my favorite. The aroma is peat and more peat, with a sea salt and vanilla sweetness. The taste is ridiculously smooth, somewhat sweet with tons going on. I don’t know how to describe it other than complex, smoky, herby wonderful goodness.

Dave, Nov 14, 2018

One of my favorite whiskys. Well worth the price. Best bang for the buck whisky.

Tong, Nov 9, 2018

Smoky and classy laphroaig.

Leanna, Nov 7, 2018

Very smokey, and smooth. An almost leathery peatiness. I've had several similar whiskeys, from other laphroaigs to lagavulin etc, and this one is still my go to for how easy it is to drink

Nicolas, Nov 1, 2018

I really enjoyed it, subtile smoke, very easy on the palate, doesnt burn, super smooth. Sitting next to the Lagavulin 16 so far

Renee, Oct 20, 2018

Liquid smoke, with different flavors in every sip.

guest, Sep 4, 2018

One of my top 3

Minna, Aug 28, 2018

Great entry level smoky scotch whisky. Warm and soft.

Scott, Aug 14, 2018

Very smoky, light in flavor, sweet late in the finish

Charlie, Aug 5, 2018

For me this is nice for a sip or two but hard to sit down to a whole glass. Wonderful campfire smell. There is an incredibly strong smoke taste and the salt/iodine/spice reminds me of a brine that you would use for a Thanksgiving Turkey.

Nose: Tar, creosote, seaweed, peaty earthiness, burning wood, smoke. Taste, big smokey peaty arrival, seaweed, honey. Lasting finish with a medicinal and honey aftertaste, developing further with a saltiness after a few minutes. With water and time, the components become more distinctive and vegetal notes begin to develop and a sweetness creeps in.

Cody, Jul 3, 2018

Holy smoke! And it just keeps smoking for minutes after on your tongue. Excellent

Bradley, Jun 28, 2018

If I were stranded on a desert island, this is the drink I'd want with me. Smoky, peaty, and oh so smooth.

Christopher, Jun 12, 2018

Delicious with a strong peaty taste. Not for everyone, but I find it to be a delightful drink!

guest, Jun 7, 2018

Very smokey and peaty, I love it! My wife hates the smell😜

Nate, Jun 2, 2018

Very smoky and peaty scotch

guest, Jun 2, 2018

Some nights it can’t get better than this

Blake, Jun 2, 2018

Love the peat!

guest, May 18, 2018

Magnificent

Valerie, May 11, 2018

Heavy smoky peat, maybe butterscotch?

Li-anne, Apr 13, 2018

Not my dram. Tastes like shoes as cigars

Jeremy, Apr 11, 2018

One of the smokiest islays which I love. Good peat and smooth creamy finish. Will remain a favorite.

Gabriel, Mar 22, 2018

Classic! I admit I love Lagavulin more personally, but this is definitely in the same league. While I've learned the Quarter Cask version is also a step above this one, I keep coming back to the original for serving to lovers of Scotch looking to experience true Islay goodness. It's a striking appearance and palette with enough smoothness to take the edge off for drinkers with less Islay experience, and I won't feel as bad if they don't finish it compared to if I had poured them Lagavulin. Now for experienced drinkers, this one is beautiful neat with only a few drops of cold water to break it.

Jason, Mar 20, 2018

Nose is deceiving. The taste is full of smoke and peat and a small bit of vanilla. Once you add a few drops, the nose and flavors really brighten up.

guest, Mar 10, 2018

Best

Joseph, Mar 1, 2018

First smoky peaty scotch, first taste is something like what the hell but before you’re halfway through the bottle you can’t stop yourself from coming back.

Piotr, Feb 26, 2018

I do believe people can love it. I don’t but I appreciate it so much that I’m going to have it again sometime. ... and it is a month later and... I like it. Peaty, not sweet, some vanilla, nice peaty finish.

JOSE, Jan 29, 2018

My very first peaty scotch! Tastes like taking down a strong tea made from charred wood but I grew to like the aroma and the taste of smoke.

Scott, Jan 21, 2018

Super smokey, peaty, and BBQy, much more than most other scotches I've tried. Maybe a pinch too much in that direction for my taste, but still a solid scotch!

Alon, Jan 20, 2018

smoky, peaty, slightly fruity, decent aftertaste, good Islay scotch - very solid.

guest, Jan 19, 2018

Not my favorite but definitely appreciate this expression of whisky for its uniqueness. Aromas of thick black/forest green markers (phenols), barbecue smoke, charcoal Tastes of examination gloves, rubber, tar Warming sensation when it hits my tongue with an oily sensation. Reminds me of the bottom floor of a cruise ship where we would enter/exit

Michael, Jan 17, 2018

I love this scotch!!! I love that peat flavor!!!

Erik, Jan 8, 2018

Laphroaig , my favorite scotch overall so far, had a few, like 15, but 10 also very good

Dallas, Jan 6, 2018

Like french kissing a goddess of smoke and flame. My favorite.

Justin, Jan 2, 2018

I love this Scotch! The flavor is off the chart. The peat is so heavy that I feel like I am sitting by a campfire in a swamp.

Evan, Dec 26, 2017

!

Michael, Dec 25, 2017

Love it - smoky and peaty

Oskar, Dec 14, 2017

Love it.

Christian, Dec 10, 2017

Taste too peaty for my taste

Thom, Dec 8, 2017

Heavier on the phenols than the Caol Ila 12 and the Bowmore 12. Less smoke than both too. Not enough smoke for me, but adequate peat. It's a Tuesday or Wednesday dram.

Edward, Dec 5, 2017

The cigar whiskey. Grows on you and has a bit of a kick.

Christine, Dec 4, 2017

Lots of flavor, love the smoke and peat. A bit spicy for me, but worth it.

Adam, Dec 1, 2017

Nice smoky nose and taste without being overpowering.

Jacob, Dec 1, 2017

Beautifully Smokey yet smooth

guest, Nov 23, 2017

Very nice flavour. Classic Islay taste! Maybe best buy for 10yr old whiskey.

David, Nov 18, 2017

Love the smoke. Smooth, thoughtful.

guest, Sep 5, 2017

Salty,smoky. Doesn't compare to the 18y old though

guest, Aug 27, 2017

Salty vanilla, the best flavor that I taste.

Scott, Aug 18, 2017

smokey smell. moderate finish.

guest, Mar 21, 2017

My first peated whisky. It has a more pronounciated nose and taste compared to my earlier single malts, but that makes it even easier to describe: smoke and peat, salt and pepper, with a hint of tart and vanilla. Somehow, this 10 year old makes me think of a late-night campfire on a stormy beach... :). Great dram! (Mine's bottled at 40% abv)

guest, Dec 21, 2016

One of my favorites, tastes of smoke and band aids... but in a good way

Dumitru, Nov 9, 2016

Smoky and sweet

guest, Oct 23, 2016

God, men lidt for røget

guest, Aug 10, 2016

One smokey islay but i still prefer the lasting salty seaweed taste of lagavulin 16

guest, Jun 25, 2016

Жестковат. Хотя я люблю дымный виски... Не зачет.

Will, May 31, 2016

Smoky with a long smooth finish. As perfect dram, don't fear the smoke!

guest, May 15, 2016

My favorite of smoky peaty Scotches, I always come back to this ten year old, an absolute staple in my collection.

Giacomo, May 8, 2016

Amazing

guest, Mar 27, 2016

The best value for money. Nice as starting

guest, Feb 25, 2016

Butch, brash, smokey

Michael, Feb 22, 2016

Nose: Campfire on the beach, heavy peat, novocaine, earth and leather, vanilla and oak if you give it time. Arrival: Peat, salt, seaweed. Finish: Intense burst of cinnamon, lingering tobacco with hints of leather.

guest, Jan 19, 2016

Smokey

guest, Jan 19, 2016

Super smoker

Brad, Dec 26, 2015

A little too smoky for my liking

Josh, Dec 8, 2015

Reminds me of Seldovia, Alaska. Cold northern sea air blowing through a small village.

Pawan, Nov 8, 2015

Smoky Peaty Strong It's just happiness in a bottle Sip it slowly and respect it

guest, Oct 7, 2015

Endlessly complex and enticing; each sip brings a deep reverie as the variety of notes reverberate around the palette in an entirely uncivilized manner.
