描述
位處於蘇格蘭西蘭的艾雷島，其地理特色便是沿岸佈有超高密度之海草，且有終年不斷段的冷烈海風。艾雷島便是在此獨特地理條件下，孕育出全世界最具個性與特色的單一純麥威士忌。就在大部分威士忌愛好者將蘇格蘭高地、斯佩賽視為威士忌聖地的同時，另有一群品味不凡的威士忌鑑賞家將艾雷島威士忌推舉為是非主流的極品。
位於艾雷島北海岸，擁有190年歷史的拉佛格酒廠，因接受全島最強近的海風吹颳，加上堅持創廠以來不曾變動過的傳統蒸餾流程，塑造出最具原始艾雷風格的威士忌，被舉世公認最具代表性的艾雷島威士忌蒸餾廠。
拉佛格的正桶艾雷風格，體現在嗅覺上是強烈的煙燻味、碘酒味及海風氣息，在味覺上是飽滿粗曠，厚實不失圓潤，尾韻綿長。這種與蘇格蘭高地主流威士忌截然不同的產品特色，讓拉佛格以不屑與世俗同流的孤傲形象，令許多不甘平凡的品味鑑賞家為之深深著迷，就連英國王儲查理斯王子也因之成為忠誠擁戴者，並且受封皇室勳章。
採用三種酒桶成熟的威士忌製成 – 美國橡木桶，1/4酒桶和PedroXimenez酒桶。製作了一款風味特色酒款，將經典強大的Laphroaig煙燻和葡萄酒般的甜味結合在一起。
It’s triple-matured, spending time in ex-Bourbon barrels after distillation to add notes of toasty vanilla. Next, it’s placed in small quarter casks which lend a velvety smooth texture to the liquid.
Finally, the mature spirit is finished in ex-PX sherry butts where it takes on flavors of sultanas, raisins and sweet licorice. This complements the signature Laphroaig taste — smoky peat reek with a medicinal edge. This is the first Laphroaig single malt to be finished in PX casks, and has impressed numerous critics.
It’s taken home the coveted Double Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Awards. Drink neat, or add a splash of water to bring out flavors of marzipan and ripe fruit.
