Matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled without chill filtration at 58.6% ABV, it was released in October 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaphroaig normally runs semi-cloudy wort, but for L1.0 the distillery blended in cloudy wort, which carries more solids from the mash, in a 50\/50 mix for bigger, heavier flavours and stronger phenolic notes. It also revived an 8.5-tonne mash tun alongside its two 5.5-tonne tuns, making the whisky in two sizes of mash tun with two types of wort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose brings fresh sea salt and smoky bacon, with strawberry jam, charred pineapple and bonfire embers.
