LAPHROAIG 10-Year Old Original Cask Strength Green Stripe
LAPHROAIG 10-Year Old Original Cask Strength Green Stripe
This 1-litre "Green Stripe" is a prestigious "old school" Islay bottling, representing the first era of Laphroaig’s cask-strength releases before the transition to the modern batch-numbered system. Bottled at a natural strength of 57.3% ABV, this expression is celebrated for its unfiltered and visceral character, delivering a powerful profile of medicinal iodine, thick peat smoke, and maritime brine. The 1-litre format is particularly sought after by collectors, as it was produced in much smaller quantities than the standard 70cl bottling and is prized for its substantial weight and oily texture. It serves as a historical benchmark of Laphroaig’s distillate from the 1980s and 90s, offering a raw, uncompromising complexity that integrates deep honeyed sweetness with the distillery’s signature tarry smoke.
