Save $35 PER BOTTLE on Laphroaig 10 Year Sherry Oak

You read that headline correctly! There are no typos here. The incredible 10 year old Laphroaig Sherry Oak edition is available today for just $54.99 instead of the normal $89.99 price. 

Instantly, it’s one of the best deals we’ve seen all December and we’re backing up the truck.

The fact that the standard 10 year old Laphroaig can still be had for around $50 in today’s market is a minor miracle in itself. Aged in ex-Bourbon casks, the iconic Islay label is one of the great whiskies of the world—period. If we were using the Bordeaux system, Laphroaig would be a first growth producer alongside Macallan and Springbank. 

The opportunity to taste Sherry-matured Laphroaig isn’t one that comes around too often. Whether you’re purchasing from the distillery, or via an independent bottler, most of the Laphroaig out there has been aged in Bourbon hogsheads or ex-Bourbon barrels. The flavor explosion that comes with Sherry-matured Laphroaig—a roasted and meaty concoction that overwhelms the taste buds—is truly a special thing.

That’s why Laphroaig has historically charged $89.99 for its 10 year old Sherry Oak expression, and just $50 for its 10 year old classic edition aged entirely in Bourbon casks. The former is not only a more expensive process, it’s also a rare occurrence. 

Hence, you can imagine our excitement when this deal came through earlier in the week. Laphroaig Sherry Oak for just $54.99??! 

The question now is: how long can we keep it in stock?

Laphroaig 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Single Malt Whisky (Elsewhere $89.99+) $54.95

Offer good through Sunday 12/17/2023. While supplies last.

Imagine the peaty, smoky, briny goodness of the standard Laphroaig 10 year old single edition, combined with the richness of Oloroso Sherry? Sweet peat is something we rarely tire of here at Mission and Laphroaig knocked this edition out of the park, bringing roasted meats, campfire smoke, and rich, robust flavor for all the Islay lovers out there. It’s a big step up from the standard 10 year old and one of our favorite Islay whiskies in the store, bar none.
