✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig's single cask releases, such as the 'Full Cask' series, represent the pinnacle of the distillery's uncompromising Islay character. Sourced from individual barrels like Cask No 44147, these expressions are typically bottled at natural cask strength, bypassing chill-filtration to preserve the raw, oily texture and intense flavor profile of the spirit. The story of Laphroaig is deeply intertwined with the rugged, windswept coast of Islay, where the distillery has stood since 1815. Utilizing hand-cut peat from the Glenmachrie peat moss, which is rich in heather, lichen, and sea salt, the barley is dried in traditional floor maltings. This imparts the legendary medicinal, smoky, and iodine-rich profile that defines the brand. Maturation in warehouses situated right on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean allows the wood to breathe in the salty sea air, embedding a distinct maritime salinity into the whisky over its years in the wood.
🍾 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.
