Presenting Laphroaig Elements 1.0, the first release in the Islay distillery's new Elements series. The collection celebrates innovation and creativity in whisky making, and heralds a new era of experimentation with mashing and fermentation. Fermented for 55 hours in two sizes of mash tun and with two types of wort, cloudy and semi-cloudy, before a maturation in bourbon casks. Bottled at 58.6% abv.
This experimental Laphroaig boasts aromas of smoky bacon, woody bonfire embers, and hints of charred strawberry and pineapple, before a spicy and peppery palate. Tropical fruits, winter cloves and liquorice flavours lead to a long and warming finish full of smoke and peat.
