✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
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.
