✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig, established in 1815 on the south coast of Islay by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston, is legendary for its uncompromisingly smoky, medicinal, and peat-forward character. This rare 28-Year-Old Limited Edition represents the pinnacle of patient maturation on the windswept shores of the Atlantic. Crafted using Islay's soft, peat-filtered water from the Kilbride Stream and barley dried over ancient Glenmachrie peat moss, the spirit is aged in a combination of hand-selected casks—ranging from quarter casks to ex-bourbon barrels and finished in Oloroso sherry butts. Over nearly three decades of slumber in Laphroaig's dunnage warehouses, the aggressive, medicinal peat smoke of its youth mellows into a sophisticated tapestry of rich peat, salted caramel, dried fruits, and warm spices, reflecting the rugged beauty and maritime heritage of Islay.
🍾 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.
