Laphroaig 14YO Willem Dafoe Limited Edition

The distillery is perched on the shore of the island of Islay, exposed to all the elements the Hebridean Sea can throw at it and the rich Islay peatland they’ve been infusing into their whisky for over 200 years is right beside it. It’s said that the art of distillation in Islay heritage was first brought to the island by Irish monks. Being a remote island on the far edge of the Scottish whisky map, this art flourished in the hands of the natives, even when it wasn’t exactly legal. When the law was finally relaxed, it gave whisky makers the chance to set up distilleries completely above board – including the brothers who founded Laphroaig’s distillery on the island’s south coast in 1815. This whisky invites you in with a floral bouquet of sweet pea and jasmine, layered by underlying notes of burnt caramel alongside Laphroaig’s signature seaweed and campfire smoke. Enjoy neat or over ice, it leaves a lingering impression inviting you in for another sip.
