✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Founded in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the rugged south coast of Islay, Laphroaig is legendary for its uncompromising, medicinal peat character. This legendary profile is forged by the distillery's traditional floor maltings and the unique composition of the local Glenmachrie peat, which is rich in heather, lichen, and seaweed. The 25-Year-Old Cask Strength expression bottled in 2017 at 48.9% ABV represents a masterful marriage of whiskies matured in second-fill Oloroso Sherry casks and American oak ex-bourbon barrels. Over a quarter-century of slumber in warehouses kissed by damp Atlantic gales, the aggressive, medicinal smoke of Laphroaig's youth has mellowed into an incredibly complex, elegant spirit. It weaves together notes of sweet vanilla, dried stone fruits, spicy oak, and a lingering, sophisticated peat smoke that speaks of the wild Islay coast.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
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.
