Laphroaig The 1815 Legacy Edition
Laut Ausage von John Campbell ist der Laphroaig The 1815 Lagecy eine Hommage an die früheren Distillery-Manager der Brennere. Er lagerte zunächst in First Fill ex-Bourbon Barrels, dann in Hogsheads aus europäischer Eiche.
Farbe: Rot-Orange, wie ein Sonnenuntergang. Im
Aroma ein schöner Duft von verbrannten Aprikosen und Rosinen.
Im
Geschmack zeigt er den typischen Rauch von Laphroaig, sanfte Eichenholznoten und Spuren karamellisierter dunkler Früchte, Nüssen und getrockneten Früchten. Im
Nachklang Nuß, Torf, Rauch und geöltes Holz.
Ausbau: First-fill, ex-bourbon barrels, dann large, new European oak hogsheads
Besonderheit: Die 1815 bezieht sich zwar auf das Gründungsjahr. Am 30. Januar 2017 kündigte Beam Suntory Global Travel Retail gleich zwei neue Laphroaigs an, den
Laphroaig Four Oaks und den The 1815 Legacy Edition.
Beam Suntory Global Marketing Director, Travel Retail Michael Cockram commented: “Peated malts are having their moment in the spotlight, currently leading growth globally in the total malt category. This growth is being driven by European and global travel retail powerhouse markets, where there is a preference for quality products and heritage cues.
“We are launching these two exceptional new products exclusively in global travel retail to meet this demand; Laphroaig is a brand with a rich history and both releases appeal to consumers’ desire for a compelling story.”

"For two centuries, Laphroaig master craftsmen have worked to shape the most richly flavoured of all Scotch whiskies. This exceptional edition was created by current Laphroaig Distillery Manager, John Campbell, to honour those who have gone before him. Left to rest in first-fill, over-charred ex-bourbon barrels before further maturing in large, new European oak hogsheads never before used by Laphroaig, maturation occurs slowly, resulting in a whisky of great depth. Currently only available in Travel Retail."
