✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig, established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the south coast of Islay, is legendary for its uncompromisingly peated, medicinal, and maritime single malts. The Feis Ile releases are crafted specifically for Islay's annual Festival of Music and Malt, celebrating the island's rich distilling heritage. This rare 17-year-old expression represents a masterful maturation period where the distillery's fierce, iodine-rich smoke and seaweed character softens, marrying with the oak to reveal unexpected layers of tropical fruit, wax, leather, and sweet vanilla. Distilled using water from the Kilbride Stream and peat cut from the distillery's own hand-harvested bogs, this whisky is a liquid testament to Islay's rugged, wind-swept terroir and centuries of Gaelic distilling tradition.
🍾 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.
