✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the rugged south coast of Islay, Laphroaig is world-renowned for its uncompromisingly smoky, medicinal, and peat-forward single malt whiskies. This distinctive 14-year-old expression, finished in Oloroso Sherry casks, beautifully marries Laphroaig's signature maritime peat smoke—imbued with sea salt, iodine, and damp earth—with the rich, sweet, and nutty complexity of Andalusian sherry wood. According to local lore, the distillery's unique flavor profile is heavily influenced by the soft, peaty water of the Kilbride Stream and the traditional floor malting process still practiced on-site. The Oloroso finish tempers the spirit's phenolic fire, introducing luxurious notes of dark chocolate, dried figs, and warm baking spices to the classic Islay smoke.
🍾 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.
