Islay aficionados, brace yourselves for Laphroaig's extraordinary debut – the Wall Collection: Peat. This 36-Year-Old expression meticulously highlights the quintessential Laphroaig character – peat.

The Wall Collection: Peat is a testament to the craft of finishing, utilizing casks previously cradling younger, heavily peated Laphroaig single malt to rejuvenate the smoky essence of this venerable whisky.

But what truly sets this release apart is its presentation. Each bottle is a canvas for London-based artist Laura Carlin's hand-painted artwork, employing the very paint that adorns the walls of Laphroaig's legendary Warehouse No. 1.

“This Wall Collection is profoundly exciting as it honors two timeless pillars of our whisky and our distillery: the rich peat that infuses our barley with its profound smokiness and the striking white distillery walls. The whisky itself is as exceptional as the bottle. Matured in ex-Bourbon casks and then given a finishing touch in a heavily peated cask, it reinvigorates the smokiness that sometimes takes a back seat in older whiskies. This bottle is a true departure from anything we've unveiled before." - Barry MacAffer, Distillery Manager for Laphroaig.
