The Laphroaig Cà irdeas 2024 Cask Favourites 10 Year Old marks 30 years of the Friends of Laphroaig with a bold and distinctive limited-edition release. Blending the flavors of two iconic past expressions—2019’s Triple Wood and 2021’s PX Cask—this whisky is bottled at 52.4% ABV, showcasing a rich copper hue and a nose of Brazil nut toffee, sweet vanilla custard, spiced orange, and milk chocolate-covered raisins.
On the palate, it delivers a rich, oily texture with notes of smoked orange toffee, stewed peaches, and smoldering campfire, balanced by hints of dried fruit, coffee grounds, and liquorice. The finish is long, slightly sweet, and peat-rich, celebrating Laphroaig’s signature smokiness with a sweeter, fruitier twist—a perfect toast to Islay’s Fèis Ìle festival and the enduring Friends of Laphroaig community.

Scotch whiskey, a distinguished spirit originating from Scotland, is primarily made from malted barley for single malts and grains for blended varieties. This iconic drink undergoes a meticulous distillation process using pot stills for single malts and column stills for grain whiskies, followed by an aging period of at least three years in oak casks, often previously used for bourbon or sherry. The result is a diverse range of flavors and aromas that reflect the unique characteristics of its regions of origin.
Single malt Scotch typically boasts rich and complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, smoke, peat, and oak, while blended Scotch offers a smoother profile with balanced hints of caramel, vanilla, and light smoke. The texture can vary significantly—from smooth and creamy to rich and oily—depending on the style. Scotch whiskey is versatile in its consumption; it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and serves as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Rob Roy or Blood & Sand.
