✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the rugged, wind-swept shores of Islay, Scotland, Laphroaig's 'Elements L 1.0' is a groundbreaking exploration of the distillery's historic production methods. This limited-edition single malt whisky delves into the alchemy of the mashing and fermentation processes. By utilizing two distinct types of wort—cloudy and semi-cloudy—alongside a combination of traditional and expanded fermentation times, the distillers have amplified Laphroaig's signature medicinal peat smoke while coaxing out unexpected layers of tropical fruit and sweet, spicy malt. Founded in 1815 by the Johnston brothers, Laphroaig is legendary for its uncompromisingly bold, phenolic character, deeply influenced by the salty sea air and local peat beds of the Kilbride Stream.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston, Laphroaig Distillery is situated on the rugged south coast of the Isle of Islay, Scotland. Celebrated globally for its distinctively bold, peaty, and medicinal character, the distillery remains one of the few that still utilizes traditional floor maltings to dry its barley over local, hand-cut Islay peat. This artisanal heritage, paired with distillation in unique copper pot stills and maturation primarily in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, defines its legendary portfolio, which includes the iconic 10 Year Old, Quarter Cask, and highly coveted aged limited editions.
