Once opened, it will retain its peak complexity for 1 to 2 years, though an unopened bottle will remain pristine for decades if stored upright away from direct sunlight.
🍽️ Mad & Vin-match

✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig, established in 1815 on the rugged south coast of Islay, is legendary for its uncompromisingly smoky and medicinal single malts. This rare single cask bottling, 'Full Cask' No 44076, represents a pure expression of Laphroaig's coastal alchemy. Distilled from heavily peated malted barley dried over fires fueled by hand-cut Islay peat rich in seaweed and moss, it was matured entirely in a hand-selected ex-bourbon barrel. This maturation tempers the fierce, iodine-rich peat smoke with sweet vanilla, toasted oak, and coconut undertones. According to local lore, the distillery's distinctive water source, the Kilbride Stream, lends a soft, peaty character that has defined Laphroaig for over two centuries, earning it a Royal Warrant from King Charles III.
🍾 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.
