✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig, established in 1815 on the south coast of Islay, is legendary for its uncompromisingly smoky, medicinal, and peat-forward single malt whiskies. This specific bottling, 'Full Cask' No 132160, represents a single-cask expression of this iconic distillery, where the spirit is matured entirely in a selected oak barrel. The distillery's unique character is shaped by the soft, peaty water of the Kilbride Stream and the hand-cut peat from Glenmachrie, which is burned in ancient kilns to dry the malted barley. Historically, Laphroaig's distinctively medicinal, iodine-rich profile famously allowed it to be imported into the United States during Prohibition under the guise of medical spirits. This single cask expression captures the raw, maritime essence of the Islay coast, combining intense peat smoke, seaweed, and sweet oak undertones.
🍾 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.
