LAPHROAIG Lp12 Elements of Islay 500ML

Established in 1815, Laphroaig has a rich history and continues to uphold traditional production methods. The distillery malts its own barley using locally sourced peat, which imparts the characteristic smoky aroma and flavor associated with Islay whiskies. The malted barley is then fermented and distilled in traditional copper pot stills, resulting in a spirit that captures the essence of Islay’s rugged coastal environment.

Having said that, Laphroaig is often perceived as quite an acquired taste amongst the faint of heart, perhaps due to its intense peaty, smoky and rich flavours. During the prohibition, an American Surgeon General was adamant that it was unfit for recreational consumption, and instead declared it to be strictly utilised for medical purposes only.

Speciality Drinks was established in 1999 as the independent bottling arm of The Whisky Exchange, which launched its online retail site the same year. Their first bottlings were under the Single Malts of Scotland label in 2005, followed by the Elements of Islay range and Port Askaig single malt brand in 2006 and 2009, respectively. The company was renamed Elixir Distillers in 2017.

This is the tenth bottling of Laphroaig within the series.
