Released in 2015 to celebrate Laphroaig’s bicentenary, this special 15-year-old revisits a beloved classic in a refined, lower-peat style. This particular bottle bears the signature of Distillery Manager John Campbell—signed during his Sydney visit in 2015—adding unique provenance. Matured in ex-bourbon casks, it balances the distillery’s coastal peat with elegant sweetness and citrus.

Laphroaig Distillery

Founded in 1815 on Islay’s rugged south coast, Laphroaig is famed for intensely peated single malts marked by maritime character—sea spray, iodine, and hearth smoke. Traditional practices like floor-malting a portion of their barley and maturing spirit in warehouses by the Atlantic continue to shape the distillery’s unmistakable profile.
