Laphroaig 6 Year Old The Good Spirits Co

Laphroaig is the largest of the three heavyweight Islay distilleries in Kildalton, out-stripping the production capacity of neighbours, Ardbeg and Lagavulin, by over 1 million litres per annum. Despite its traditional appearance, Laphroaig was always a forward-thinking distillery. It was bottled as a single malt as early as the 1920s, an unfashionable option at the time, especially for a peated whisky. They were also shrewd in capitalising on post-Prohibition America to add trademark sweetness to their spirit through the use of imported ex-bourbon casks, and hired Scotland’s first ever female distillery manager, Bessie Williamson, in 1954. Laphroaig is one of only a handful of distilleries in Scotland to still use in-house maltings, providing them with 20% of their annual requirements, and contributing to the distillery’s unique flavour profile.

This 6 year old was bottled by the Creative Whisky Co. in Glasgow for The Good Spirits Company in the same city.

The Creative Whisky Company was established in 2005 by David and Dawn Stirk. David had been involved in the industry for a long time, both writing extensively about whisky in magazines and books, as well as being a former employee of Scotland's oldest independent bottler, Wm. Cadenhead. His new family company bottled its first whiskies in 2011. Their brands include the Exclusive Malts, Exclusive Grains, and a range of Exclusive Blends as well.
