Single Malt Limited Edition 27YO (((Bottled 2017)))
⏳ Drikkevindue
As a fully matured, ultra-premium single malt bottled in 2017, this expression is at its absolute peak. Unlike wine, spirits do not mature further in the bottle, meaning it can be enjoyed immediately or cellared indefinitely under proper conditions to be savored over many years.
🍽️ Mad & Vin-match
Rich blue cheeses such as Roquefort or Stilton, high-quality dark chocolate, and slow-smoked meats like duck breast or venison.
✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the rugged south coast of Islay, Laphroaig is legendary for its uncompromisingly peated, medicinal single malts. This rare 27-year-old limited edition, bottled in 2017, showcases the sublime alchemy of time on Islay's intense maritime character. Distilled and filled into refill quarter casks and first-fill bourbon barrels, the spirit was matured in Laphroaig's historic dunnage warehouses, where it absorbed the salty sea air of the Atlantic. Over nearly three decades, the distillery's signature aggressive peat smoke and medicinal iodine notes softened, transforming into a complex, elegant tapestry of tropical fruits, toasted macadamia nuts, gentle peat smoke, and sea spray. It stands as a testament to the patient maturation process that defines Islay's finest aged spirits.
🍾 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.
