✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig's 17-Year-Old Francis Mallmann Limited Edition is a remarkable collaboration that bridges the wild, wind-swept peat bogs of Islay with the fiery, open-air culinary artistry of Patagonia's legendary chef, Francis Mallmann. This exceptional single malt begins its journey in classic ex-bourbon barrels, absorbing Laphroaig's signature medicinal peat, cold sea spray, and iodine character over seventeen patient years. It is then finished in toasted Madeira casks, a choice personally guided by Mallmann to introduce a rich, velvety sweetness of dried stone fruits, burnt orange peel, and warm spices. The result is a dramatic sensory dialogue between intense peat smoke and caramelized wood sugars, celebrating a shared passion for smoke, fire, and untamed nature.
🍾 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.
