How to Drink Laphroaig Whisky The only heir was his son Dugald who, at 11 years old, was too young to take control. His Uncle John Johnston managed the distillery until 1857 when Dugald was old enough to take control.

This distinctive blend is created from several different casks, including Oloroso Sherry Butts, white American oak, Pedro Ximenez seasoned hogsheads, Quarter casks, and first-fill bourbon casks. This 25-Year-Old is aged 25 years in Oloroso sherry butts and ex-Bourbon barrels. This mellow single-malt scotch has the distinctive Laphroaig flavor of peat smoke with a medicinal edge with notes of vanilla and spiced apple. In a process lasting approximately 17 hours, the smoke (peat reek) rises through the perforated drying floor into the kiln, where the damp barley absorbs vaporized oils, phenolic compounds, and wood-based smokey flavors.

Laphroaig follows a double distillation process where the first distillation in a wash still produces an alcohol content of 22% ABV.

The peat is burnt at a relatively low temperature ( a cold smoking process) and is responsible for the typical tarry notes of Laphroaig. The barley is then dried using hot air recycled from the still house. Mashing The heat for the kilning is created using a peat-fired oven that uses moss from the Scottish peat bogs near the distillery and is hand-cut by distillery workers. Laphroaig discards more from the first cut (the head) and takes the second cut (the tail) later than the industry average, making it less sweet and retaining its tarry, medicinal, peaty notes.

Donald only lived until 1847. Rumor has it that he drowned after falling into a vat of partially-made whisky. When Ian Hunter took over in 1921, there was not much money available due to the many court cases, but he revitalized the distillery, and by 1923 the capacity had doubled.
