✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Laphroaig, established in 1815 on the rugged south coast of Islay, is legendary for its uncompromisingly smoky, medicinal, and peat-forward single malts. This rare 17-year-old expression, bottled as part of the prestigious Savoy Collection Edition 2, represents a marriage of Islay's wild maritime terroir and refined hospitality history. Distilled using local peat cut from the Glenmachrie peat moss—which imparts the distillery's signature iodine, seaweed, and tar character—and aged for nearly two decades in oak casks, this whisky showcases a softer, more complex side of Laphroaig. The extended maturation tempers the aggressive peat smoke, revealing layers of sweet vanilla, stewed fruits, and toasted oak, while retaining its coastal, briny soul.
🍾 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.
