Laphroaig Elements 1.0 is the inaugural release in the Islay distillery's new Elements series, celebrating innovation and creativity in whisky making. This series marks a new era of experimentation with mashing and fermentation, highlighting Laphroaig's unique processes and showcasing the creative possibilities within the distillation process itself, rather than relying on varied cask finishes and aging techniques.
Crafted exclusively from Islay malted barley, this single malt emphasizes the creative potential of distillation. The Laphroaig team was granted complete freedom to innovate, resulting in a whisky that captures the quintessential Laphroaig character while introducing new layers of complexity.
For this edition, the distillery experimented with a 50/50 mix of fully and semi-cloudy wort, elevating the tropical notes and phenolic intensity to extraordinary levels. This process resulted in a whisky with a rich aroma of smoky bacon, woody bonfire embers, and hints of charred strawberry and pineapple, followed by a spicy and peppery palate. Tropical fruits, winter cloves, and liquorice flavors lead to a long and warming finish filled with smoke and peat.
Elements 1.0 is a premium single malt with flavors of spicy pepper, charred pineapple, and tangy liquorice. Bottled at a robust 58.6% ABV, it is matured in bourbon casks and presented in a box inspired by the distillery's expansion designs from the late 1800s and early 1900s. This limited-edition release is a must-try for whisky enthusiasts and collectors, offering a unique and innovative take on the classic Laphroaig profile.
