Aging

Laphroaig 10 Year Old: This is the foundation for all of the distillery's single malts. Aged for 10 years, the 80-proof (40 percent ABV) whiskey is bold, smoky, briny, and slightly sweet with a long finish. The glass from which you drink Laphroaig whisky can vary depending on personal taste. However, the tumbler is a favorite due to its practicality. After fermentation, the wort has an alcohol content of 8.5% ABV. The Laphroaig distillery has seven pot stills – three larger wash stills and four smaller spirit stills. All the stills are made of copper, which has the effect of stripping sulphuric flavor compounds from the spirit.In a process lasting approximately 17 hours, the smoke (peat reek) rises through the perforated drying floor into the kiln, where the damp barley absorbs vaporized oils, phenolic compounds, and wood-based smokey flavors. The heat for the kilning is created using a peat-fired oven that uses moss from the Scottish peat bogs near the distillery and is hand-cut by distillery workers.
