Laphroaig 16 Year Old 2021 Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky

In 1815, Donald and Alexander Johnston began leasing nearly 1,000 acres of land on the island of Islay. Their intent was to raise and sell cattle on the land and as a result, they began growing barley to be used as feed for their livestock. Following a particularly bountiful harvest, the brothers distilled the excess grains they had grown into whisky, and sold it to the inhabitants of the island. Soon thereafter, the brothers found it more profitable to distill whisky than to raise cattle, and Laphroaig (pronounced La-froyg) Distillery was born. For over a century, the distillery would remain in the hands of one of Johnston's descendants. In 1954, however, Ian Hunter passed away childless and bequeathed the distillery to Bessie Williamson, a secretary that had been working at the distillery for two decades.

Tasting Notes

The nose of this bright-gold single malt is briny and peaty with vanilla and hints of chocolate and grass. The palate is malty and peaty with spicy touches, black pepper, vanilla, and hints of sea spray. The finish is creamy and long with a pleasant and gentle warmth.
