Laphroaig 10 Year Sherry Oak

While Laphroaig had long experimented with different cask finishes in special releases like the Cairdeas line, less had been done with the standard expressions beyond an occasional cask strength release also under the Cairdeas aegis. The Laphroaig 10 Year Sherry Oak debuted in March 2021 as a limited release but soon transitioned into a part of the core range. Starting life along the same path as the distillery’s iconic Laphroaig 10, this whisky is then finished for 12 to 18 months in European oak ex-Oloroso sherry casks, marrying the new with the familiar.

Rampur Double Cask

Rampur distillery is located in the Uttar Pradesh region of India and is owned by Radico Khaitan. While technically distilling spirits since 1943, by the turn of the century Rampur was launching brands under it’s own name for the domestic market and, increasingly, for international ones. The Rampur Double Cask is double distilled from six-row barley and matured using both American ex-bourbon and European ex-sherry casks.
