✨ wine.spec_sheet
Nestled on the rugged south coast of Islay, Laphroaig has been crafting its famously polarizing, deeply peated single malts since 1815. This extraordinary 32-year-old limited edition, bottled in 2015 to commemorate the distillery's bicentenary, represents a rare marriage of Islay's intense coastal peat and the luxurious sweetness of first-fill Oloroso sherry casks. Over more than three decades of maturation in the damp, salty warehouses beside the Atlantic Ocean, the sharp, medicinal smoke of Laphroaig's youth has softened into a sublime, complex tapestry of dark dried fruits, rich leather, roasted nuts, and gentle, warming peat smoke. It stands as a monument to Islay's traditional floor malting methods and the legendary, soft water of the Kilbride Stream.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston, Laphroaig Distillery is situated on the rugged south coast of the Isle of Islay, Scotland. Celebrated globally for its distinctively bold, peaty, and medicinal character, the distillery remains one of the few that still utilizes traditional floor maltings to dry its barley over local, hand-cut Islay peat. This artisanal heritage, paired with distillation in unique copper pot stills and maturation primarily in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, defines its legendary portfolio, which includes the iconic 10 Year Old, Quarter Cask, and highly coveted aged limited editions.
