Single Malt Element L1.0 Small Batch
⏳ Drikkevindue
As a distilled spirit, this single malt is fully matured at bottling and does not develop further in the bottle. It can be enjoyed immediately upon release and will remain pristine indefinitely if stored upright in a cool, dark place. Once opened, it is best enjoyed within 1 to 2 years to capture its full aromatic intensity.
🍽️ Mad & Vin-match

✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig, established in 1815 on the rugged south coast of Islay, is world-renowned for its intensely smoky, medicinal single malts. The Element L1.0 Small Batch represents a fascinating evolution in their traditional craftsmanship, focusing on experimental mashing techniques. By combining two distinct types of wort—cloudy wort, which coaxes out rich, bready, and savory elements, and clear wort, which emphasizes delicate tropical fruit esters—the distillers have created a multi-dimensional spirit. This innovative approach, paired with an extended fermentation and maturation in seasoned oak casks, beautifully juxtaposes Laphroaig's signature maritime peat smoke with unexpected bright fruitiness and spicy complexity.
🍾 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.
