Description

The opening release in a new series honouring the people behind Laphroaig’s history. Chapter 1 pays tribute to Donald Johnston, the elder of two brothers who founded the distillery in 1815. His influence on the style and legacy of Laphroaig is reflected in this inaugural bottling, presented alongside striking illustrations by British artist Bill Bragg.

This whisky spent 33 years maturing in a mix of American oak ex-bourbon casks and European oak sherry-seasoned hogsheads. Bottled at fixed strength, it captures the depth of its long rest in the warehouse, offering a profile shaped by time and tradition.

Tasting Note by Laphroaig:
Nose: Starting with stewed fruit and smooth vanilla créme brûlée.
Palate: Our iconic smoky finish sets the scene for savoury aromas of cured meat.
Finish: Sherry casks bring warm festive spice.

It's Laphroig, it's 33 years old ! JPHA, well done sirs...

It's Laphroig, it's 33 years old . Fantastic dram, worth every penny.
Purchased from JPHA, the most cost effective site to purchase this, and they even included a rather enjoyable bottle of Minutey wine as well.
Well packed and fabulous customer service , will definitely be using JPHA again,perfect from start to finish 🫡

Malt Whisky lover

Not tried this, have bought it for my collection.
But if it is anything like Laphroaigs normal high standards, should be excellent.
