Elements is the first in a new limited edition range from Laphroaig. Each will showcase a different elements that makes Laphroaig the classic Islay malt. Release 1.0 focuses on highlighting Laphroaig's spice and tropical notes and of course, the beautiful peat smoke profile.

"There are a few factors that set Elements 1.0 apart and make it different to other unique releases.

Typically, we use two 5.5 tonne mash tuns at Laphroaig to give us 11 tonnes of wort to go into the washback. For this expression, the team looked back to the pre-1990s when it was common practice to use a singular 8.5 tonne mash tun, and used it in addition to the two 5.5s for a whisky that's the result of old meeting new. 
The wort we pull from the tuns through to the washbacks is usually semi-cloudy, which is what gives Laphroaig its combination of fruity and smoky flavours. For Elements 1.0, we’ve also pulled through cloudy wort, which gives us bigger and heavier flavours, emphasising the phenolic notes. Cloudy wort can be quite bold and a little overpowering, but this 50/50 mix of cloudy and semi-cloudy has balanced out perfectly."

 

This was pricey for a no age statement whisky but it has got some stellar reviews for its fruity profile and some bad reviews too but mostly complaining about the price. Perfect sample for Laphroaig fans to try to see if its worth investing in a bottle.
