Laphroaig 1989 17 Year Old Fèis Ìle 2007 (Signed by John Campbell)

This special edition Laphroaig was distilled in 1989 and matured for 17 years before being bottled in 2007 exclusively for the Islay Festival of Malt and Music (Fèis Ìle). Released in a limited run of just 4,000 bottles, this small batch single malt was crafted to celebrate the festival and showcase Laphroaig’s signature peated style at a natural 50.3% ABV. Adding to its collectability, this particular bottle is hand-signed by John Campbell, Laphroaig’s legendary distillery manager at the time, making it a unique piece of distillery history.
