Founded on Islay in 1815, the Laphroaig distillery has been creating distinctive Scotch whiskies for over two centuries. Laphroaig 10 is the quintessential Laphroaig expression, and its character can be found in almost every whisky produced by the distillery.
Sister Spirit stills enhance and refine the wonderful flavors captured during the long fermentation period, thanks to extra contact with copper. Matured in a selection of Bourbon casks, wine barrels and Sherry casks.
Nose: Glendronach Ode to the Embers reveals rich, complex aromas of red fruits, honey, vanilla and toasted oak.

Nose : Approachable and rich. First polished wood and nuts (toasted hazelnut) dominate, then stewed fruits (baked apples), dried fruits (sweet dates), and soft brown sugar take over. Mossy too, after a while.
Palate : Sweetness and crunchy nuts impress at first, then there’s a smooth, fruity Speyside richness to enjoy. Firm, with a balancing sweetness. Brown sugar and espresso coffee. Warming and pleasant.
Finish : Medium to long, elegantly drying and crisp, completed by a pleasant, sweetly nutty chew-ability.
Nose: Spicy and savory, with notes of Marmite, burnt toast, endive, charcoal and coffee. The herbaceous Ardbeg top note is very present, and is complemented by aromas of smoke and molasses.
Mouth: The spicy mouthfeel gives way to a host of rich, smoky flavors of cocoa powder, dark chocolate, caramelized peanuts and smoky lime, with a hint of soot and embers. Anise and malted cookie come to the fore.
Nose: Opens with fresh, salty, oceanic notes. Develops on sweet, peat-dried malt. Mouth: Charred oak, chimney smoke, rock pools and summer tar. Finish: Long and persistent with brown sugar, ash and very phenolic.
