✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Nestled on the rugged south coast of Islay, Laphroaig has been crafting its famously polarizing, deeply peated single malt Scotch whisky since 1815. This rare 25-year-old expression, bottled in 2018 at a robust cask strength of 52% ABV, represents the pinnacle of the distillery's art. The signature character of Laphroaig is forged by Islay's unique environment: the soft, peat-filtered waters of the Kilbride Stream and the hand-cut peat from the Glenmachrie bogs, rich in marine vegetation that imparts a distinct medicinal, iodine, and seaweed aroma. Legend has it that during American Prohibition, Laphroaig's distinctive medicinal profile allowed it to be legally imported into the United States as a pharmaceutical therapeutic. This exceptional bottling marries the intense, smoky peat of spirit aged in American oak ex-bourbon barrels with the rich, sweet, dried-fruit complexity of European oak Oloroso sherry casks over a quarter-century of slow maturation in coastal dunnage warehouses kissed by the Atlantic breeze.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the rugged southern coast of the Isle of Islay, Laphroaig is celebrated as one of Scotland's most iconic and distinctive single malt distilleries. Renowned for its unapologetically bold, medicinal, and maritime character, the distillery preserves heritage traditions by hand-cutting local Islay peat from Glenmachrie and operating its own historic floor maltings. Utilizing cold-smoking techniques and soft, peaty water drawn from the Kilbride Reservoir, Laphroaig yields an unmistakable spirit brimming with notes of seaweed, iodine, and robust peat smoke. Now under the stewardship of Suntory Global Spirits and holding a prestigious Royal Warrant since 1994, the distillery produces benchmark expressions ranging from its classic 10 Year Old and innovative Quarter Cask to deeply nuanced, ultra-aged single malts.
