The Laphroaig 1989 Feis Ile 2007 is a 17-year-old single malt whisky, released to commemorate the opening of the Friends' lounge at the Laphroaig distillery during the Feis Ile festival in 2007. This limited release was made exclusively available to members of the Friends of Laphroaig, with only 4000 bottles produced. The whisky was bottled at a cask strength of 50.3% ABV, showcasing the finest casks selected from the distillery's 17-year-old reserves.
Laphroaig is a historic distillery, established in 1815 by Alexander and Donald Johnston. The distillery remained under D. Johnston & Co until the 1960s, experiencing a surge in popularity during the tenure of Ian Hunter, Donald's great-grandson. Bessie Williamson, Ian's secretary, took over the distillery after his death and served as the acting manager during his extensive international sales trips. Bessie retired in 1972, and Laphroaig was granted a Royal Warrant in 1994 by HRH The Prince of Wales. The Friends of Laphroaig was founded in the same year and currently boasts approximately 640,000 members.
This 1989 vintage Laphroaig, bottled at 17 years of age, represents a piece of the distillery's rich history and its commitment to excellence in whisky production. The nose is exceptionally versatile and ever-changing, with very little peat and smoke, making it an unexpected Laphroaig. The taste, while slightly less versatile than the nose, remains powerful and intense with fruity and creamy notes. The finish is long and powerful, with sweet and fruity undertones, leaving a lasting impression.
