✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
🍾 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.
