✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the rugged, wind-swept shores of Islay, Scotland, Laphroaig's 'The Wall Collection: Rope Edition' 39 Year Old is a monument to time, patience, and maritime terroir. This ultra-rare single malt pays homage to the iconic, whitewashed warehouse walls of Laphroaig that have stood resilient against the fierce Atlantic gales for over two centuries. The 'Rope Edition' celebrates the traditional hemp ropes used in the distillery's historic dunnage warehouses. Distilled in the late 20th century, this liquid has slumbered for nearly four decades in oak casks, absorbing the salty sea air and damp coastal atmosphere. While Laphroaig is legendary for its medicinal, heavily peated youth, thirty-nine years of maturation have transformed the fierce peat smoke into an incredibly elegant tapestry of beeswax, tropical fruits, old leather, and a gentle, lingering bonfire warmth. It represents the pinnacle of Islay craftsmanship and the slow, magical alchemy of wood and tide.
🍾 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.
