Laphroaig Elements 3.0: A Smoky, Chocolate Firestorm
Discover the happy accident that redefined Islay peat. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for rare and innovative Scotch whiskies, is thrilled to present the Laphroaig Elements 3.0 Single Malt Limited Release. This third installment in the award-winning Elements series is a testament to the unpredictable nature of whisky making—and the brilliance of Laphroaig's distillers.
The unique character of Elements 3.0 was born from a fortunate mishap: a fire in the distillery's kiln caused the peat to burn longer and at significantly higher temperatures than standard protocol. Rather than discarding the malt, the team experimented with this "over-cooked" peat. The intense heat unlocked a completely new spectrum of flavor, transforming the classic medicinal smoke of Laphroaig into rich, dark notes of roasted cocoa and bitter chocolate.
Bottled at a robust 55.3% ABV, this small-batch release is a fascinating study in how heat influences flavor. It offers a rare glimpse into a profile that deviates from the distillery's norm while maintaining its unmistakable soul.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A powerful waft of signature Islay peat smoke, but darker and earthier than usual. It is quickly joined by aromas of freshly ground espresso, dark cocoa powder, and a hint of charred oak.
Palate: Intense and full-bodied. The high proof delivers a punch of flavor, featuring bitter dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and licorice, all wrapped in a blanket of sweet, medicinal smoke.
Finish: Long, drying, and savory. The finish lingers with notes of bonfire ash, cacao nibs, and a touch of sea salt.
This is a collector's whisky born from fire. As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier destination for this limited experimental release.
