✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig 10 Year Old is the definitive expression of the Islay single malt style, distilled on the rugged south coast of Islay, Scotland. Established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston, Laphroaig is renowned for its uncompromisingly bold, medicinal, and smoky character. This iconic spirit is crafted using soft water from the Kilbride Stream and barley dried over damp peat hand-cut from the distillery's own Glenmachrie peat moss, which imparts its signature notes of iodine, seaweed, and cold hearth smoke. Aged for a minimum of ten years in seasoned ex-bourbon barrels, the spirit marries intense peat reek with a surprising undercurrent of vanilla sweetness. Legend has it that during American Prohibition, Laphroaig's distinctive medicinal aroma allowed it to be legally imported into the United States as a therapeutic tonic, a testament to its unique and powerful sensory profile.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Laphroaig blev grundlagt i 1815 af brødrene Donald og Alexander Johnston på den rå sydkyst af Isle of Islay og regnes i dag for et af Skotlands mest ikoniske og karakterfulde single malt-destillerier. Destilleriet er berømt for sin kompromisløse, medicinske og maritime profil og holder de stolte håndværkstraditioner i hævd ved selv at håndstikke lokal Islay-tørv fra Glenmachrie samt drive egne, historiske maltgulve. Kombinationen af koldrøgning og blødt, tørveholdigt vand fra Kilbride Reservoir giver en umiskendelig spiritus, der er rig på noter af tang, jod og markant tørverøg. Destilleriet hører i dag under Suntory Global Spirits og har siden 1994 kunnet pryde sig med et prestigefyldt Royal Warrant som kongelig hofleverandør. Her skabes skoledannende aftapninger, der spænder lige fra den klassiske 10 Year Old og den innovative Quarter Cask til dybt komplekse, eksklusive ældre single malts.
