Single Malt 30YO
⏳ Drikkevindue
Ready to enjoy upon release. Unlike wine, this ultra-aged single malt does not mature further in the bottle, but it will maintain its extraordinary complexity indefinitely if stored upright and away from direct light.
🍽️ Mad & Vin-match
Rich blue cheeses such as Stilton, high-quality dark chocolate with sea salt, or artisanal smoked meats and game.
✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig, established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the rugged south coast of Islay, is legendary for its uncompromisingly peaty and medicinal character. The 30-Year-Old expression represents the pinnacle of this distillery's craft, where the fierce, iodine-rich peat smoke of its youth has been tempered by three decades of slumber in oak casks, often situated in warehouses kissing the Atlantic shoreline. This slow maturation coaxes out sublime notes of tropical fruits, toasted coconut, and soft beeswax, seamlessly interwoven with a gentle, lingering peat smoke and sea spray. It stands as a testament to Islay's unique microclimate and the traditional floor malting methods still practiced at the distillery.
🍾 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.
