✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig, nestled on the rugged south coast of Islay, is legendary for its uncompromisingly smoky, medicinal, and peat-forward single malt Scotch whisky. The 10-Year-Old is the distillery's definitive expression, renowned for its intense profile of cold woodsmoke, seaweed, and iodine. This distinct character is forged by drying malted barley over fires fueled by local Islay peat, followed by distillation in copper pot stills and aging in first-fill ex-bourbon casks. The Royal Warrant connection is a proud chapter in Laphroaig's history: in 1994, HRH Prince Charles (now King Charles III) visited the distillery to bestow his Royal Warrant, famously declaring Laphroaig his favorite whisky. This bottling celebrates that royal seal of approval, representing over two centuries of distilling heritage on the wind-swept Scottish coast.
🍾 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.
