✨ Tekniske specifikationer
To celebrate two centuries of uncompromising peat-smoke mastery, Laphroaig released this limited-edition 16-Year-Old Single Malt in 2015, marking their 200th anniversary. Established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the rugged south coast of Islay, Laphroaig is legendary for its intensely medicinal, smoky, and maritime character. This expression was matured exclusively in ex-bourbon American oak barrels, allowing the distillery's signature heavy peat and cold-smoked barley notes to mellow gracefully over sixteen years. The result is a beautifully complex dram where the fierce Islay sea spray and iodine are softened by rich vanilla, sweet floral honey, and warm oak spices, embodying the historic craftsmanship of one of Scotland's most iconic distilleries.
🍾 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.
