Description
Released in 2009, this 18-year-old single malt is a spectacular example of some of Islay's greatest whiskies. A soft, sweet and spicy Islay peat smoke gives way to a wonderful oak-y sweetness. A faint hint of the sea can be detected, testimony to its time maturing on the remote island of Islay. It was bottled at 48% ABV without chill-filtration for a depth of taste and texture. This much-loved expression was sadly discontinued after the distillery ceased production in 2016.

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.
