Eldvatten Svenska Laphroaig 10 Years Old Single Malt Cat Label 2015 57,2% Vol. 0,7l

The Eldvatten Svenska Laphroaig 10 Years Old 2015 is a strictly limited-edition single cask bottling from the Scottish island of Islay, selected by the Swedish independent bottler Svenska Eldvatten. The single malt was distilled at Laphroaig on September 22, 2015, and bottled on May 12, 2026, after ten years of aging. The whiskey spent its entire maturation period in a refill bourbon barrel, ensuring that the distinctive, heavily peated character of the Islay distillate remains the focal point. The single cask used bears the cask number SE171. The whiskey was bottled at a robust 57.2% ABV, at cask strength, without chill filtration and without the addition of coloring.

This release is part of Svenska Eldvatten’s 5th Anniversary Cat Series and immediately stands out thanks to its distinctive Cat Label. Only 269 bottles were produced from this single refill bourbon barrel, underscoring the distinct collector’s appeal of this whiskey. As an independent Swedish bottler, Svenska Eldvatten focuses on select single casks, which are presented as unadulterated as possible. In this 10-year-old Laphroaig single malt, classic Islay characteristics such as peat smoke and maritime notes meet the comparatively subtle cask influence of a refilled bourbon barrel. The combination of the 2015 vintage, ten years of aging, single cask, cask strength, and limited bottling makes this 0.7-liter bottle particularly appealing to enthusiasts of full-bodied Islay whiskies.
