Coming from one of the most iconic distilleries on Scotland’s whisky island – or in the country as a whole – the Laphroaig 10 Year Old is “the definitive Islay peated single malt”.

The Laphroaig 10 Year Old is the Worlds Spirits Competition Double Gold Winner 2022, so you know you’re getting a well-respected whisky. You can make this your new favourite dram or, thanks to its iconic green bottle and classy carton, it could make the perfect gift for the whisky-lover in your life.
It boasts an incredible 4.8 rating on Amazon, with around 7,000 five-star reviews. Over 3,000 bottles have been bought in the last month, showcasing just how popular the Laphroaig 10 Year Old Islay Single Malt is.
One person wrote: “This whisky is a beautiful creature. It’s peaty, smoky and robust. A real complex flavour punch, with the saltiness of the sea and the heaviness of the peat coming through. If you like single malt, and artisan whisky, you will love this.”
Another happy customer described it as a “peat monster” and said it was “quite simply one of the best whiskies [they] have ever tasted”. They added: “Nothing prepares you for the Islay experience quite like a Laphroaig 10 year old.
“Don’t get me wrong, I have great admiration for all of the malts that Islay has to offer, but there is something a bit special about Laphroaig. It’s not a dram for the faint hearted by any means, with that sweet, smoky, peaty medicinal taste that stays with you long after the first sip.
“If you like a peaty whisky then this is a must have bottle of greatness and for the type of money these bottles are selling for its quite simply a complete and utter steal. Just treat yourself, buy a bottle and if you don’t like it then send me what’s left.”
Others agreed, with one shopper saying: “One of the best I’ve tasted so far, keep coming back to this.” While another added: “Great quality, aged to perfection.”
Not everyone was quite as taken with the whisky, however, with the peaty taste posing an issue for some. One person wrote: “Really not to my taste. I can’t seem to get used to the peaty flavour. The really really peaty flavour.”
