Distiller Notes
Laphroaig’s whiskies are always richly flavoured and characterful – and Elements 3.0 is certainly no exception. It’s a perfect third component to the series made up of Elements 1.0 and Elements 2.0, which experimented with changing wort and mash tun size, and fermentation times. With Elements 3.0, heat was the focus, creating a flavour profile that ranges from chocolate and spice to leather and sooty chimney smoke on the finish.
“A good gulp of hot Scotch Whisky at bedtime–it’s not very scientific, but it helps!”
Alexander Fleming, Scottish inventor of penicillin, prescribed it as a cure for the common cold. Today Single Malt Scotch Whiskies are prized by enthusiasts and aficionados the world over for their rarity, age and complexity. By definition these must be produced in Scotland from a single distillery and made entirely from malted barley, using a pot still. The appearance, aroma and flavor of a Single Malt Scotch Whisky can vary widely depending on whether it was produced in the Highlands, Lowlands Islands, Speyside, Islay or Campbelltown regions.
