Laphroaig Elements 2.0 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
To create the second edition to the Elements collection, the Laphroaig distillery team were given free rein to produce something unexpected that embodies the Laphroaig profile while adding new dimensions of flavour.
Instead of the usual 55 hour fermentation, Elements 2.0 is created from a number of longer fermentations; this ranges up to almost five full days in the tun, for a total of 115 hours. This is specially aerated to maintain mash conditions, like the practices of old. This unprecedented fermentation emphasises the fruitier notes of this exceptional Islay Single Malt, whilst maintaining Laphroaig’s signature peaty character.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Warm, sunlit amber with copper-gold highlights.
Nose
Fruity and subtly coastal, this nose presents stewed apples and vanilla custard, bright orange peel, and a soft, lingering peaty whisper.
Palate
Fruity, sweet and salty. Green apples and runny honey with cream soda and soft peatiness of a smoldering bonfire and smoked seafood.
Finish
Sweet, with an increasingly warming peat-smoked finish that lingers. The sweetness coats the palate as coastal smoke builds, evolving into a comforting, long-lasting kiss of smoke and sea salt.
