Alongside a rebranding of Laphroaig's labels, the beloved Islay distillery is debuting "a series of surprising whiskies revealing new dimensions of Laphroaig", which will be part of a new series called Laphroaig Elements L.

The first release - Laphroaig Elements L 1.0 focuses on experimentation during the mashing and fermentation stages by using two types of wort, as well as both old and new style mash tuns. This is said to give the new expression a greater tropical fruit note, without losing any of the signature maritime peatiness. 

The new expression is bottled at 58.6% ABV.
