Strong Characters Chapter 1 with Bill Bragg Print

SKU: SGS022-2

This is the first chapter in a new series of whiskies, all about celebrating those who have shaped Laphroaig.

Volume 1 tells the story of Donald Johnston, the older of two brothers who founded the Laphroaig distillery in 1815 and created the iconic Laphroaig whisky we all know today. Their bold venture is brought to life through illustrations by award-winning British artist Bill Bragg, which adorn the packaging and accompanying booklet.

Such a remarkable story deserves an extraordinary whisky, and the one which was chosen has been resting in our warehouse for 33 years, waiting for perfect moment to bottle. Matured in a selection of American oak ex-bourbon casks and European oak sherry-seasoned hogsheads, the whisky is bottled fixed strength for optimum character.

The result is a complex character, bringing notes of sweet desserts, gentle sherry and savoury peat smoke all together in perfect harmony.

For a limited time only, when you order Strong Characters, you'll receive a complimentary limited-edition print by the award-winning artist Bill Bragg. Don't miss out on this exclusive and get your free print. Illustration dimensions – 20.5 x 26 cm, printed on A3 (29.7 x 42.0 cm). Frame not included. This item will ship on 28th November.

Own a Piece of Our History

Over the centuries, Laphroaig has been built – stone by stone, bottle by bottle – by pioneers. And with a history as proud as ours, we’re honour-bound to celebrate it from time to time.

That’s why we’re delighted to introduce a brand-new limited-edition print by the award-winning artist Bill Bragg – now included free with every bottle of Strong Characters (One print per bottle of Strong Characters ordered. Print may vary by country.).

Bragg’s illustrations accompany our fantastic series, Strong Characters, which has been created to honour the pioneers who’ve made us who we are.

By weaving together period settings with his trademark neat, contemporary style of illustration, Bragg has brought our distillery to life like never before. Each limited-edition print combines past and present into a brilliantly atmospheric moment, frozen in time.
