Laphroaig - Elements 2.0

Laphroaig Elements 2.0 is the second release in the distillery’s innovative Elements series, a collection dedicated to exploring how individual production techniques influence the character of Laphroaig whisky. For this experimental edition, the focus was placed on fermentation, with fermentation times extended from the distillery’s traditional 55 hours to as long as 115 hours.

Drawing inspiration from historic production methods, the washbacks were specially aerated throughout fermentation to maintain optimal conditions and encourage the development of fruit-forward flavours. The result is a fascinating reinterpretation of Laphroaig’s iconic style, revealing vibrant layers of fruit beneath its unmistakable Islay peat smoke.

Bottled without chill filtration, Elements 2.0 combines notes of stewed green apples, zesty orange peel, and bright citrus with classic smoky peat, creating a whisky that is both familiar and refreshingly different.
