✨ wine.spec_sheet
Laphroaig, nestled on the rugged south coast of the Isle of Islay, is world-renowned for its uncompromisingly smoky, medicinal, and peat-forward single malt Scotch whiskies. Founded in 1815 by the Johnston brothers, the distillery relies on local Islay peat from the Glenmachrie peat moss, which imparts a distinctive iodine and seaweed character due to its high moss content. The 'Full Cask' No 132152 is a single barrel release, capturing the raw, unblended essence of a single maturation vessel. Aged in close proximity to the salt-sprayed Atlantic coast, this expression highlights the intense interplay between heavy peat smoke, coastal brine, sweet oak vanillins, and warm spices, representing the pinnacle of traditional Islay craftsmanship.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston, Laphroaig Distillery is situated on the rugged south coast of the Isle of Islay, Scotland. Celebrated globally for its distinctively bold, peaty, and medicinal character, the distillery remains one of the few that still utilizes traditional floor maltings to dry its barley over local, hand-cut Islay peat. This artisanal heritage, paired with distillation in unique copper pot stills and maturation primarily in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, defines its legendary portfolio, which includes the iconic 10 Year Old, Quarter Cask, and highly coveted aged limited editions.
