✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Nestled on the rugged south coast of Islay, Laphroaig has been crafting its famously polarizing, deeply peated single malts since 1815. Legend has it that the distillery's distinctive medicinal character was so pronounced that during US Prohibition, it was legally imported into the United States as a medicinal liquid. This rare 25-Year-Old Cask Strength expression, bottled at 51.9% ABV, represents a masterful marriage of peated single malt matured in seasoned European oak Oloroso sherry casks and American oak ex-bourbon barrels. Over a quarter-century of slow maturation in dunnage warehouses on the Atlantic coast softens Laphroaig's intense peat smoke, weaving it into a sublime tapestry of sweet vanilla, dried dark fruits, warming spices, and signature medicinal brine.
🍾 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.
