Laphroaig Element 1.0 70cl 58.6°
Laphroaig Elements 1.0 stands bold at the crossroads of heritage and creativity. Hailing from Islay, it shines as a single malt with a strong identity: marine peat, sharp spices, caramelised exotic fruit (charred pineapple), and a streak of liquorice that pulls everything into an intricate harmony. At 58.6%, this is not for the faint-hearted—it’s for those who cherish intensity, contrast, and depth with every sip. The experience is elevated by experimental brewing: two mash tuns (including an older 8.5-ton facility) and using half cloudy wort to enhance phenolic elements. The result is a rich, densely complex whisky—sensory, daring, unforgettable. A must for connoisseurs, a bold statement in any collection.

No one knows the full history of Laphroaig as much of it has been lost in the midst of time unfortunately.
For a long time on Islay as in all Scotland, distilling was illegal so no one spoke of the numerous small stills, easy to move around and usually hidden in farms. If you wished a refill, just a nod and a wink in the right direction!
We know that the Johnston’s established a farm in Laphroaig around 1800 as, a while after, Charles & Willie Doig were asked to work “at the distillery”. From 1815, the Laphroaig reputation grew and caught the attention of tax agents who established “officially” Johnston & Johnston. This is how the great Laphroaig adventure began.
It is said a good story is about a good story-teller and who better than one of the former distillery managers? Discover the notes a visitor took after his interview with Iain Hendernson, retired in 1999. You may also check the complete history of the last two hundred years of the Laphroaig chronology.
A remarkable and fascinating result, as the fruity is so well-matched with the peaty smoke, without muffling it.
