✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the rugged southern coast of the Isle of Islay, Laphroaig is celebrated as one of Scotland's most iconic and distinctive single malt distilleries. Renowned for its unapologetically bold, medicinal, and maritime character, the distillery preserves heritage traditions by hand-cutting local Islay peat from Glenmachrie and operating its own historic floor maltings. Utilizing cold-smoking techniques and soft, peaty water drawn from the Kilbride Reservoir, Laphroaig yields an unmistakable spirit brimming with notes of seaweed, iodine, and robust peat smoke. Now under the stewardship of Suntory Global Spirits and holding a prestigious Royal Warrant since 1994, the distillery produces benchmark expressions ranging from its classic 10 Year Old and innovative Quarter Cask to deeply nuanced, ultra-aged single malts.
