Waves crash against the white brick ‘LAPHROAIG’ walls with awesome ferocity. Think wrath of the sea rather than hint of maritime, here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecognized the world round for everything medicinal: not only are distillery bottlings presented in an apothecary-style green and white bottle, evocative of nightmarish childhood visits to the medicine cabinet, many also perceive its flavor profile a close relative to cough medicine, whilst others lap it up for its fiercely acquired taste. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it type dram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distinctly medicinal flavor characteristic that is found in the spirit produced at Laphroaig is a result of the peat utilized during the malting process, which like very few distilleries in Scotland is still conducted at the site of the distillery in a traditional manner. The distillery maintains access to its own unique peat beds, at Glen Machrie, whose peat contains relatively high levels of ‘Sphagnum’, which develop iodine-like flavors during production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of the potency of raw ingredients used at Laphroaig, the distillery’s process retains a large amount of phenols (ppm) in its new-make, making its whisky a fierce beast that requires robust maturation to develop graceful. Well-matured expressions, however, are absolutely sublime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alexander Murray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43742816207081,"sku":"Alexander-Murray-Laphroaig-12-Year-Old-2005","price":104.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bourbonhuntusa.com\/products\/alexander-murray-laphroaig-12-year-old-2005","provider":"Bourbon Hunt USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
