The Laphroaig 10-Year-Old Islay Scotch Whisky has received a massive 33% discount on Amazon to the delight of whisky fans who said it’s ‘undoubtedly the best ever made’
Whisky lovers, listen up! If you’re on the hunt for a “complex” and “memorable” addition to your collection, the Laphroaig 10-Year-Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is causing quite a stir on Amazon with an irresistible 33% discount. Originally priced at £43 for a 700ml bottle, it’s now going for £28.98 – that’s a savvy saving of over £14 off the RRP.
Celebrated for over 75 years, this iconic whisky is renowned for its “unique flavour profile” achieved through a time-honoured production process. The traditional method of cold-smoking malt barley over peat fires, a rare practice among distilleries today, imparts a signature taste to the spirit.

Once dried over these fires, the grains are laid out on the malting floor, exposed to the sea air, resulting in a “full-bodied” whisky with a smoky core, complemented by hints of salty seaweed and a lingering sweetness. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as part of a classic cocktail, this single malt whisky is sure to satisfy any whisky enthusiast.
Dubbed by the brand as a “peaty rite of passage,” the Laphroaig 10-Year-Old offers more than just a drink – it’s an experience to be cherished, reports MyLondon.
The Laphroaig Single Malt is a hit among Amazon shoppers, earning a stellar 4.8 average rating from close to 8,000 reviews. Customers are singing the praises of its unique, “deep” flavour profile.
One satisfied whisky lover shared: “To me, it’s a wonderful whisky. The first time I tried it, I thought it smelled like an ointment. I grew to enjoy it, though.”
Another connoisseur described it as “Peaty, smoky, strong. Gives you a warm, comforting feeling inside. I love the smell of it, but it may not be to everyone’s taste. You love it or hate it, but this whisky is unique and full of character.”
A third review exclaimed: “This is the whisky for a special occasion… I’ve tried a lot of malts, but this is head-and-shoulders above the others. With its unique flavour, the long smoky aftertaste reminds you that you have a dram of the best.”
Others have highlighted its well-rounded flavours, with hints of peat, vanilla, and almonds, claiming it “punches way above its weight”. One enthusiast even proclaimed: “Laphroaig, by far, undoubtedly the best whisky ever made.”
Crafted on Scotland’s Isle of Islay, its rich taste, infused with smoke and peat, has been noted. A fan recommended: “Produced on the Isle of Islay in Scotland and is enhanced by the flavour of smoke and peat. Such a rich taste. I can see why pubs charge £5.00 a shot. Buy your own bottle and share it with friends at home. Top draw and highly recommended.”
One punter described their experience with a particular whisky, suggesting it might not appeal to everyone due to its distinctive taste: “Nice whisky but bit smoky for my taste; having said that, I don’t like smoky whisky at all, so no surprise there. If you do, it’s probably quite a nice one and not a reflection of the whisky but me for ordering it.”
If smoky isn’t your dram of choice, then fret not! Those who fancy something lighter could opt for the 14 year old Small Batch from Signatory Vintage – a Speyside malt through and through – priced at £55.50.
For the budget-conscious connoisseur, Asda has sweetened the deal by cutting the price of the popular Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky aged 12 years, dropping it from the usual £36 to £28.48 in their latest price rollback.
