✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig Lore is a liquid testament to over two centuries of distilling heritage on the rugged, wind-swept shores of Islay, Scotland. Crafted to honor the passing down of traditions, secrets, and artistry from generation to generation since the distillery's founding in 1815, 'Lore' is widely considered one of the richest expressions from this legendary producer. This complex single malt is a meticulous marriage of diverse casks, including first-fill sherry butts, smaller quarter casks, and active ex-bourbon barrels, containing spirits of varying ages. The result is a deeply layered profile that weaves Laphroaig's signature medicinal peat smoke, coastal sea spray, and earthy bonfire notes with the sweet, dried-fruit and spicy complexity of seasoned European and American oak.
🍾 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.
