✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Established in 1815 by the Johnston brothers on the rugged south coast of Islay, Laphroaig is celebrated for its distinctive, uncompromisingly smoky character. The 10-Year-Old Original Cask Strength Batch 012, bottled in 2020, represents the distillery's signature expression in its most authentic, undiluted form. Matured in seasoned ex-bourbon American oak barrels and barrier-filtered to remove char particles without losing flavor, this single malt showcases the intense maritime terroir of Islay. The local peat, cut from the Glenmachrie peat moss, infuses the malted barley with medicinal, tarry, and iodine-rich notes, balanced by the sweet vanilla and oak spices of the casks. It is a legendary dram that captures the wild, sea-battered heritage of the Scottish Hebrides.
🍾 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.
