✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the rugged, wind-swept shores of Islay, Scotland, Laphroaig has been crafting its legendary, peat-smoked single malts since 1815. The Triple Wood expression is a masterclass in wood management and maturation. It begins its journey in ex-bourbon barrels, absorbing sweet vanilla and oak notes, before being transferred to small quarter casks. These smaller vessels increase the wood-to-liquid contact ratio, imparting a rapid, intense woody spice. Finally, the spirit is finished in large European oak Oloroso sherry casks, which layer rich dried fruit, nuttiness, and a subtle sweetness over Laphroaig's signature medicinal peat smoke, seaweed, and brine. Steeped in Islay folklore, this expression represents a harmonious marriage of traditional peat-drying methods and innovative cask finishing.
🍾 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.
