Single Malt The Wall Collection : Peat By Laura Carlin 36YO
⏳ wine.drinking_window
As a highly aged, fully matured single malt whisky, it is bottled at its absolute peak of complexity. It does not age further in the bottle and is ready to be savored immediately, but it will remain pristine for decades if kept sealed and stored away from direct sunlight.

Hailing from the rugged, wind-swept shores of Islay, Laphroaig is legendary for its uncompromisingly smoky, medicinal single malts. 'The Wall Collection: Peat By Laura Carlin 36YO' is an ultra-rare masterpiece that pays homage to the iconic whitewashed warehouse walls of the distillery, which have stood against the fierce Atlantic gales for over two centuries. This expression features bespoke ceramic artwork by illustrator Laura Carlin, celebrating the ancient peat bogs that give Laphroaig its soul. Having slumbered for thirty-six years in oak casks, the fierce, medicinal peat smoke of its youth has matured into an incredibly complex, elegant spirit. It weaves together notes of tropical fruit, beeswax, old leather, and a gentle, lingering maritime peat smoke, representing the absolute pinnacle of Islay craftsmanship.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston, Laphroaig Distillery is situated on the rugged south coast of the Isle of Islay, Scotland. Celebrated globally for its distinctively bold, peaty, and medicinal character, the distillery remains one of the few that still utilizes traditional floor maltings to dry its barley over local, hand-cut Islay peat. This artisanal heritage, paired with distillation in unique copper pot stills and maturation primarily in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, defines its legendary portfolio, which includes the iconic 10 Year Old, Quarter Cask, and highly coveted aged limited editions.
