This limited edition Laphroaig was made from spirit fermented for 115 hours, rather than the usual 55 hours. It was matured in ex-Bourbon casks before bottling at 59.6%. 87pts Whisky Fun / Whisky Advocate Whisky of the Year 2024
Producer Description
"Elements 2.0 is a bold, non-chill filtered whisky showing the flavour impact of an extended fermentation process. The result is fruity and smoky, with notes of stewed green apples, zesty orange peel and smoky peat. Awarded Whisky of the Year 2024, by the Whisky Advocate.
“Laphroaig Elements 2.0 is an unexpected fruitier whisky with the same peaty character you’ve come to know and love – made possible by over double the typical fermentation period."
