The Laphroaig 25 Years Old The Bessie Williamson Story Edition 2019 is a special tribute to one of the most influential figures in the history of Islay distilling: Bessie Williamson, Scotland’s first female distillery manager in the 20th century and a key figure in Laphroaig’s global success. This limited-edition special release was matured for a full 25 years and was released in 2019 in an exclusive gift box. It impressively embodies the connection between traditional craftsmanship, the Islay terroir and the unique personality to whom it is dedicated.

The whisky was bottled at 43% ABV and is a blend from ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, lending it both depth and elegant balance. The long maturation brings Laphroaig’s characteristic smokiness into harmonious balance with sweet, nutty and fruity notes. As is customary with Laphroaig, the bottling is non-chill-filtered to preserve its natural structure and texture.

A true collector’s item and a must-have for lovers of classic Islay malts with depth, history and character.

Tasting Note

Colour: Warm gold with a slight coppery tinge.

Nose: Mature peaty smoke, vanilla, dried fruit, leather, maritime notes and a hint of sherry.

Palate: Smooth, complex and elegant with peat, oaky spice, sweet malt, nuts and subtle smoke.

Finish: Long-lasting, spicy and dry with delicate smoky aromas and sherry influences.

This bottling is ideal for savouring neat at room temperature. It is particularly effective when served in a high-quality nosing glass to fully appreciate the delicate aromas developed during its 25-year maturation. Ideal as a gift for seasoned connoisseurs, for whisky tastings or as a collector’s item in an exclusive collection. This whisky tells not only a story of flavour but also a story of history – very much in the spirit of Bessie Williamson and the legendary House of Laphroaig.
