This bottling of a 10-year-old Williamson was produced by the independent bottler Brühler WhiskyHaus in the A Dream of Scotland series. The whisky matured in ex-bourbon barrels and received a finish in an ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry cask before being bottled at cask strength in 2022.
Behind the name Williamson is a Laphroaig whisky, which becomes a blended malt by adding a teaspoon of other malt whiskies.
The Laphroaig Scotch Islay Single Malt Distillery is now owned by the Japanese-American Beam Suntory Group. Situated on a small, pristine sea inlet on the Scottish Hebridean island of Islay, Laphroaig is the most southerly distillery on the Islay island. Laphroaig was founded in 1815 by the brothers Alex and Donald Johnston at the current location. The Laphroaig Whisky Distillery has been the official purveyor of single malt whisky to the Prince of Wales since 1994. It is not only the salt water, the salty sea air and the peaty water from Kilbride Dam that are responsible for the extraordinary aroma, but rather the attention that is paid to the Scotch at Laphroaig.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
