“The Wall Collection is hugely exciting for us, as it celebrates two of the most enduring and iconic elements of our whisky and our distillery: the peat we use to imbue our barley with its distinctive deep, smoky flavor and the striking white walls of our distillery,”
Laphroaig Distillery Manager Barry MacAffer said, according to The Spirits Business.
The Wall Collection: Peat Edition pays homage to the importance of peat, which is essential to Laphroaig’s identity, as the Islay-based distillery is known for producing heavily smoky scotches as a result of incorporating this natural element in the whisky production process.It features a bespoke label hand-painted by illustrator and ceramicist Laura Carlin. Carlin used the same paint the distillery uses on Warehouse No. 1 in Islay.
“The whisky itself is every bit as special as the bottle. Matured in ex-Bourbon casks, this spirit has been finished in a heavily peated cask so we’ve been able to reintensify the smokiness that usually takes a back seat in older whisky. This extraordinary bottle is unlike anything else we’ve ever released before,” McAffer concluded.

-拉弗格-
十七世紀初，一位名為約翰史頓 唐納(Donald Johnston)的居民在島上開始了農耕事業，起初大麥的種植主要是供給牛隻飼料為目的。但大量的過剩大麥，約翰史頓先生靈機一動，便決定利用它來生產風味香醇的純麥威士忌。
為了發展蒸餾事業，約翰史頓先生邀請了兩位蒸餾師加入酒廠工作，此後蒸餾廠的生意變蒸蒸日上到了1815年，由於名聲日益響亮，讓當地稅務官起了疑心。於是約翰史頓先生決定對外公開創立"Johnston&Johnston"，拉弗格的傳奇就此誕生。約翰史頓秉持著「共有精神」的信念，營造和諧分工的工作氛圍，而此是促使他們成功的關鍵。此外成就這傳奇的功臣還有一群擁有不輕易妥協、執著與堅定信念的釀酒師，由於他們對保留原創風味的堅持，才能延續這難得的百年風味。
