✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the rugged southern coast of the Isle of Islay, Laphroaig is celebrated as one of Scotland's most iconic and distinctive single malt distilleries. Renowned for its unapologetically bold, medicinal, and maritime character, the distillery preserves heritage traditions by hand-cutting local Islay peat from Glenmachrie and operating its own historic floor maltings. Utilizing cold-smoking techniques and soft, peaty water drawn from the Kilbride Reservoir, Laphroaig yields an unmistakable spirit brimming with notes of seaweed, iodine, and robust peat smoke. Now under the stewardship of Suntory Global Spirits and holding a prestigious Royal Warrant since 1994, the distillery produces benchmark expressions ranging from its classic 10 Year Old and innovative Quarter Cask to deeply nuanced, ultra-aged single malts.
