Laphroaig ’25 Years Old’ Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Bessie Williamson Limited Edition)
RM2,988.00
This super-premium single malt Scotch celebrates the life of Bessie Williamson, the first woman to own and run a Scotch whisky distillery in the 20th century. She came to embody everything we know and love about Laphroaig; warm and rich with that unmistakable Islay character. Aged in refill barrels and American oak hogsheads, the spirit holds its own as it slowly mellows over a quarter century.

About The Brand
On the far edge of the Scotch whisky map, it’s supposed that the art of distillation was first brought to Islay by Irish monks. Being remote, it’s an art that flourished in the hands of the islanders, whose illegal operations tested the resolve and means of the tax man.
Eventually, the law relaxed, and various whisky makers set up legitimate distilleries, among them a pair of farmers, Donald and Alexander Johnston, who in 1815 founded their distillery on the island’s south coast. Laphroaig, so called after its location, ‘broad hollow by the bay.’ It would remain in family’s hands for the next 139 years.
