Elementos de Laphroaig L1.0

Taste Notes:

Laphroaig Elements L1.0 presents a bold exploration of Islay’s signature character, intensified by its cask strength. It opens with a blast of phenolic peat smoke, briny sea spray, and medicinal iodine, followed by underlying hints of toasted oak and citrus oil. Mid-palate reveals roasted coffee beans, charcoal, and salted caramel, while a peppery spice carries through to a long, dry finish. Despite its high ABV, it remains balanced with a creamy texture and evolving layers of maritime complexity. A bold, experimental release that stays true to the Laphroaig DNA.
