Sherry

	Variety	Single Malt Whisky
	Aroma	Crème brûlée, rhubarb compote and apple with vanilla cream. Creamy caramel is accompanied by heather honey, freshly baked sourdough bread and salty sea spray with smoke.

	Finish	The character of the peat smoke brings spicy aromas of smoked ham, cured mackerel and herbal, almost grassy flavours. A few drops of water bring out the distinctive peat smoke flavours even more clearly.
	Region	Islay
	Maturation	Ex-boubon and sherry casks
	Smoky

Product description

Laphroaig, one of the oldest and most renowned distilleries on Islay, is known for its powerful, peaty whisky, which has been produced since 1815. Now the distillery is presenting the first edition of a new series that will delight connoisseurs and collectors alike. The Strong Characters series tells the story of the bold pioneers who have shaped Laphroiag as a distillery. 'Strong Characters' epitomises the haunting taste of peat smoke. The first chapter is dedicated to Donald Johnston, the elder of the two brothers who founded the distillery in 1815. The Single Malt was matured for 33 years in American oak barrels and former sherry hogsheads made from European oak. Donald Johnston can be seen on the outer packaging in an illustration by artist Bill Bragg. The artist will illustrate each release in the series and has also designed an accompanying booklet that tells the story of the Johnstons.

The Distillery: Laphroaig

Laphroaig (pronounced 'La-froig') means 'the beautiful hollow by a broad bay' in Gaelic. The area around the distillery, which is located on the remote island of Islay (pronounced 'Ei-la') off the west coast of Scotland, is just as beautiful. Laphroaig Whiskies are considered the most smoky-intense malt Whiskies from Scotland. read more

Herstellerbeschreibung

on 08.10.2024

Aroma: Crème brûlée, Rhabarberkompott und Apfel mit Vanillecreme. Cremiges Karamell wird begleitet von Heidehonig, frisch gebackenem Sauerteigbrot und salziger Meeresgischt mit Rauch.

Geschmack: Der leichte Einfluss des Sherrys bringt Noten von Obstkuchen und feinen Gewürzen ein, während Torfrauch langsam übernimmt.

Abgang: Der Charakter des Torfrauchs bringt würzige Aromen von geräuchertem Schinken, gepökelter Makrele und kräutrige, fast grasige Geschmacksnoten mit. Ein paar Tropfen Wasser lassen die markanten Torfrauchnoten noch deutlicher hervortreten.
