Laphroaig 25 Year Old Cask Strength 2016 Edition

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

Hints of sweet fruits, cherries and sherry in the aroma. Notes of fruit carry forward to the palate, and are complemented by salty tang, baking and pepper spices and a subtle peaty undertone. The finish is intense yet gentle, with notes of smoke accented by a touch of sweet, creamy vanilla.
