The island of Islay
Islay is one of the Inner Hebrides and is the southernmost of this group of islands. The history of whisky goes back a long way here, albeit illegally. Irish monks are said to have discovered the art of distillation here. Since the island was very isolated from the mainland at the time, the production of island-typical spirits naturally boomed, which the tax collectors absolutely did not like.
Ultimately, however, the laws were changed to the advantage of the distillers and more and more legal distilleries were able to settle on the island.
One of these legal distilleries has been the Laphroaig distillery on the south coast since 1815. The founders Donald and Alexander Johnston chose the name after the distillery's surroundings, which are a 'broad valley in the bay'.
Good things come to those who wait
This whisky is one of the best proofs that length of maturation is often what counts. For this single malt whisky, fresh Laphroaig was divided into two different barrels. One part matured in ex-bourbon barrels, the other part in Oloroso sherry barrels. The whisky was then allowed to mature and develop its full aromas for a quarter of a century. The storage facilities in the warehouses directly on the Atlantic play a particularly important role here. Laphroaig's notes always have something medicinal and a hint of seaweed. Added to this are the aromas of the different barrels. Slightly sweet, fruity notes from the sherry barrels, paired with vanilla and oak notes from the bourbon barrels. After this long maturation period, it was bottled directly at cask strength.
