Laphroaig Elements 3.0

Special features: The third edition of the experimental Elements series from Laphroaig was created by an unexpected peat fire in the drying oven of the malt house. This event led to a longer drying of the malt at higher temperatures, enriching the whisky with a more intense smoke and peat character. The maturation took place entirely in former bourbon barrels, and the whisky was bottled at cask strength of 55.3% vol.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Dense aromas of charcoal and dark chocolate, accompanied by strong spices and maritime, salty notes. Sweet vanilla, lemon peel, and butter toffee add depth, while a hint of cinnamon along with ripe plums and dates invite the first sip.
• Palate: An intense peat smoke unfolds, sparkling and warming, before it mingles with notes of roasted cocoa beans and dark bittersweet chocolate. The rich phenolic character gives way to a spicy fruitiness with hints of blackberries, plums, and gooseberries, followed by a delightful crème brûlée.
• Finish: Sustained and dry with extended notes of Atlantic, leather, and rusty chimney smoke.

Distillery/Bottler: Laphroaig is a renowned distillery on the Scottish island of Islay, known for its smoky and peaty single malts. The Elements series reflects their innovative approach to whisky production by experimenting with various production processes to create new tasting experiences.
