Second instalment in The Wall Collection
The Wall Rope Edition
STEEPED IN HISTORY
A TRIBUTE TO PUFFER BOATS
A tribute to Warehouse No. 1’s outer wall where our distillery name proudly announces our presence to the wild Atlantic, The Wall Collection is also a tribute to the passion and perseverance of our people who’ve combined ancient skill with a fiery determination to create the very best single malt whisky since 1815.
Remarkable sherry matured whisky
Hand-painted by the artist and ceramicist Laura Carlin
The design of the bottle depicts the ropes of Puffer Boats that would carry sherry casks to our stretch of shore, a theme that’s reflected in this remarkable sherry matured whisky, with a flavour profile that perfectly balances the influence of these casks with our signature peat.

Inspired by the journey of sherry casks to our distillery
Building on the success of the collection's first instalment, which focused on our Islay peat, the second release in this limited-edition collection is titled Rope. This nautical theme is inspired by the journey of sherry casks to our distillery on board the region’s storied puffer boats.
The hand-painted design evokes the boats’ ropes, which would connect the world of sherry to our stretch of the Islay shore. It’s a theme evoked in the flavour profile of the bottling, which combines the influence of different sherry casks with our unmistakable Islay peat.
A beautiful green bespoke painted bottle
Encased in a beautiful green bespoke painted bottle, each one-of-a-kind item has been uniquely completed by hand by award-winning British artist and ceramicist, Laura Carlin. While she usually works with books or ceramics, Carlin enjoys bringing stories to life around three-dimensional objects, and so there’s a natural fit for her to bring our distillery history to life through The Wall Collection.
To really evoke the spirit of this crucial part of our distillery building, Carlin used the exact paint that our warehouse painter Sammy uses every year to top up the paint on the iconic LAPHROAIG lettering that stands emblazoned on the wall of Warehouse No.1. Sammy knows a thing or two about that wall, having been keeping it in good nick since he first applied a lick of paint to it as an apprentice at 15 years old.
