Single Malt Cask Strength 25YO 52%
⏳ Drikkevindue
As a distilled spirit, this whisky does not mature further in the bottle and is ready to be enjoyed immediately upon release. Unopened bottles will preserve their exceptional quality indefinitely when stored upright in a cool, dark place, while opened bottles are best consumed within 1 to 2 years to prevent oxidation from fading the delicate aromas.
🍽️ Mad & Vin-match
Rich blue cheeses such as Stilton or Roquefort, premium dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage, and traditional cold-smoked wild salmon.
✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig, founded in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the rugged south coast of Islay, is legendary for its uncompromisingly smoky and medicinal single malt Scotch whisky. The 25-Year-Old Cask Strength expression represents a pinnacle of maturation, marrying whiskies aged in second-fill European oak Oloroso sherry casks and American oak ex-bourbon barrels. The distillery's unique terroir is defined by the Glenmachrie peat bogs, which provide the soft, peaty water and the hand-cut peat used to dry the malted barley. This peat, rich in sphagnum moss, heather, and seaweed, imparts the signature iodine, woodsmoke, and sea-spray notes. Over a quarter-century of slumber in dunnage warehouses battered by Atlantic gales, the aggressive peat of youth mellows into a sublime complexity, beautifully balancing intense peat smoke with rich dried fruits, sweet vanilla, and warming oak spices.
🍾 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.
