Laphroaig Non Peaty Old Liqueur Scotch Whisky

This was produced in the 1940s, a significant period in the history of Laphroaig as the distillery shut down production in the first half of the decade due to shortages during the second world war. Laphroaig continued all other aspects of the business including bottling whiskies such as this, all the while also doing its bit for the war effort by housing The First Company of Royal Engineers following the battle of Dunkirk, and providing Laphroaig House as a base for the RAF. The distillery's sales actually increased during this period as demand was high in the military messes they supplied to across the UK. The distillery re-opened in 1945 at the close of hostilities in Europe.
