✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig, established in 1815 on the rugged south coast of Islay by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston, is legendary for its uncompromisingly smoky and medicinal single malts. The Cask Strength Batch No 013 10 Year Old, bottled in 2021, represents the distillery's signature expression in its purest, most powerful form. Matured in seasoned ex-bourbon barrels and barrier-filtered rather than chill-filtered, this expression showcases the raw influence of Islay's unique peat. This peat, hand-cut from the Glenmachrie peat moss, contains a high proportion of sphagnum moss and heather, imparting the famous medicinal, iodine, and seaweed notes. Combined with the soft water of the Kilbride Stream and years of maturation in warehouses lashed by Atlantic gales, this dram delivers an intense sensory journey of sweet vanilla, sea salt, and deep, earthy smoke.
🍾 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.
