Laphroaig 33 Year Old Strong Characters: Donald Johnston

Born on the shores of Islay in 1815, Laphroaig embodies the rugged character of its coastal home – a name meaning ‘the broad hollow by the bay’. This 33-year-old expression showcases the distillery’s enduring legacy, matured in a harmonious blend of American ex-bourbon and European sherry oak casks. Expect a powerfully peated and smoky experience, rich with complex flavours that have captivated – and challenged – palates for generations. Once deemed medicinal by an American Surgeon General, Laphroaig remains a uniquely bold and intensely satisfying single malt, a testament to traditional floor maltings and uncompromising character.
