Laphroaig Elements 3.0 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
Elements 3.0 is an exclusive new small batch single malt whisky, with notes of roasted cocoa beans and bitter dark chocolate. The third instalment in Laphroaig's award-winning Elements series, this limited release was the result of a fire in their kiln that burned peat for longer and at higher temperatures than usual. Experimenting with heat brought out chocolate and coffee notes – resulting in this extraordinary whisky.
Tweaking their process like this requires expertise, a bold sense of creativity, a dash of intuition – and perhaps even good luck. In the case of Elements 3.0 it was by chance that our team discovered a fire burning for longer and at higher temperatures than usual in their kiln. They used their curiosity and skill to channel that chance event into this remarkable small batch single malt scotch.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich copper-gold with a burnished amber glow and a subtle mahogany edge.
Nose
Peat smoke mingles with roasted cocoa beans and bitter dark chocolate, while coffee notes emerge from the high-heat kiln, creating a rich, decadent aroma with smoky depth.
Palate
Velvety and full-bodied, it reveals roasted cocoa beans and bitter dark chocolate, then shifts to espresso and coffee and charred peat. Rich cacao lingers on the palate, uplifted by a whisper of sea salt and a hint of sweetness from the sherry cask. A warming, long finish of smoky peat and coffee liqueur notes, signature Laphroaig with arresting intensity.
Finish
Long, smoky finish where peat embers linger, entwined with dark chocolate and espresso. Cocoa remains on the tongue, giving a warm, dry fade that slowly dissolves into a subtle coastal hint.
