About this bottle
This bottle is a rare independent bottling of a single cask Laphroaig single malt Scotch whisky, independently selected and released by The Clydesdale Original Whisky Company Ltd.
The Clydesdale Original Scotch Whisky Co. was an independent bottler that launched in the late 1990s, well-regarded for releasing un-chillfiltered, single-cask expressions at natural cask strength. Because these bottlings come from single individual casks rather than large vatings, the total outturn is always strictly limited (typically only a few hundred standard bottles and a small number of miniatures), making them highly sought after by collectors

About the distillery
The Laphroaig distillery was established in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston. The Johnstons who founded Laphroaig were from the Clan Donald and are likely to be from the MacIain of Ardnamurchan branch of the clan. The family anglicised their name to Johnston. The last member of the Johnston family to run the distillery was Ian Hunter, a nephew of Sandy Johnston, who died childless in 1954 and left the distillery to one of his managers, Bessie Williamson.
