Laphroaig is the iconic Islay Single Malt with a uniquely strong character, both in taste
and heart.
From the flavour of our whisky, to how it's made and who it’s made by, there is an
unmatched boldness in our every day, just as there has been since 1815.
Volume 1 of Strong Characters explores the beginning of Laphroaig’s story, as founding
father, Donald Johnston set up a distillery from scratch on farmland on the island of
Islay.
Through bold choices and strong convictions, Donald and his brother Alexander
succeeded where others failed, soon gaining a reputation for producing an unrivalled
whisky of uncompromising flavour.
A legacy which, despite the challenges Donald faced throughout his tenure, remains to
this day.
Such a remarkable story deserves an extraordinary whisky, and the one which was
chosen has been resting in our warehouse for 33 years, waiting for perfect moment
to bottle it as a classic example of an aged Laphroaig.
Matured in a selection of American oak ex-bourbon casks and European oak
sherry-seasoned hogsheads, the whisky is bottled fixed strength for optimum
character.
The result is a complex character, bringing notes of sweet desserts, gentle sherry and
savoury peat smoke all together in perfect harmonLaphroaig is the iconic Islay Single Malt with a uniquely strong character, both in taste

Notes of crème brûlée, stewed rhubarb and apple with custard. Creamy soft fudge is followed by
heather honey, freshly baked sourdough bread and a briny sea
spray.
PALATE The gentle sherry influence has added notes of fruit cake and subtle spice.
FINISHThe peat element reveals savoury aromas of smoked ham, cured mackerel, and a herbal, almost grassy smoke. A splash of water brings forth more prominent notes of peat smoke.
