WHY THE NAME - SMOKE ON THE WATER?
We give all of our releases a name that befits them. This illustrious and luxury dram has been borne of one of Islay’s most famous distilleries and bottled at an amazingly mature and seldom seen age. Laphroaig distillery is world renowned for it’s richly coastal and peaty style. The distillery sits right on the windswept beaches of southern Islay producing it’s famously pungent smokey distillate. What name could fit it better than Smoke On The Water?
WHICH DISTILLERY?
Laphroaig! How rare… Famously Prince Charles’ favourite tipple, it has received Royal charter, describing itself as “the most richly flavoured of all Scotch whiskies”. This old distillery sits proudly in a row shoulder to shoulder with distilleries Ardbeg and Lagavulin along the Isle of Islay’s Southern Coast.
This pre-order release will be ready for shipping in late October 2021 and is strictly limited to just 3 bottles per customer.
