Information
About the producer

Scotland, Isle of Islay. Distillery operational. Owner: Beam - Suntory

Few distilleries have inspired as much excitement among collectors as Laphroaig, and this with just a single expression of its single malt, the Laphroaig 10 Year Old. Nonetheless, since the end of WWII, it has released a large number of bottlings, each varying from one market to the next. Its heavily peated style has developed according to the barrels used for maturation (sherry/bourbon). Its ABV, varying from 40% to 60% for its cask strength bottlings, favours one characteristic of its profile over another. And yet, it is still the Laphroaig 10 Year Old and has been for 70 years and counting. This expression forms a collection of its own thanks to its numerous importers and labels, including Filippi Fausto to Bonfanti, Cinzano, R.H.Elsbach & Co and Carlton Import. Laphroaig is, however, also renowned for its outstanding vintages 1960, 1974, 1976, 1977, 1980 and 1981 and versions aged 15 - 40 years. All in own, a world of its own.

About the wine

Laphroaig Càirdeas (Gaelic for ‘friendship’’) is an annual edition for the Friends of Laphroaig, a club open to all fans of the distillery. This edition bottled in 2015 for the distillery’’s bicentenary was made with barley malted at Laphroaig, distilled in small stills and matured in the distillery’’s oldest warehouses in order to imitate the style of 19th century Laphroaig. The first editions were presented as exclusives for Feis Ile, a festival celebrating Celtic music and culture held on Islay every year since 1985 by The Islay Festival Association. The festival’’s first whisky tasting was held in 1990 and ten years later distilleries began actively participating by holding tours and releasing special editions only available on the isle during the festival. It is now a major event and very popular in the whisky world.
