Description
Introducing Laphroaig Elements 2.0, the second release in the distillery’s exploratory series that challenges the boundaries of whisky making. Following the sell-out success of Laphroaig Elements 1.0, the talented distillery team went beyond the traditional approach to distillation to explore interesting and unusual ways to experiment with how Laphroaig is made. For this second edition, they looked at the impact of disrupting their usual 55-hour fermentation process to uncover different aspects of Laphroaig’s bold character.

The Distillery comments:
“Distilled during a particularly frosty January, Elements 2.0 takes fermentation beyond our standard of 55 hours and experimented with of a range of longer fermentations, all the way up to 115 hours.

The effect of this longer fermentation period is an intensity of flavour. After around 65 hours, a secondary fermentation begins to kick in inside the washback and this reintroduces some more tropical flavours, while retaining the classic Laphroaig character we all know and love”
