✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig, founded in 1815 on the rugged south coast of Islay, is legendary for its uncompromisingly smoky, medicinal, and maritime character. The Elements series serves as an experimental exploration of the distillation process, with the L 2.0 release specifically focusing on the art of fermentation. By extending the fermentation time to an extraordinary 115 hours—nearly double the standard duration—and utilizing a combination of cloudy and clear worts, the distillers have coaxed out unexpected tropical fruit notes that beautifully contrast Laphroaig's signature heavy peat smoke, cold-smoked bacon, and medicinal iodine. This expression represents a captivating dialogue between modern curiosity and Islay's historic floor malting and coastal maturation heritage.
🍾 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.
