The Lost Plot
The Warehouse Mysteries
A piece of Islay has vanished. The records are missing. And something is waiting in Warehouse 1.
Introducing Laphroaig's first Mystery Box. One sealed box. A whisky you won't know until it arrives. And the chance to uncover an extraordinary bottle.
How does a piece of land simply
disappear?
A Case Unlike Any Other
On Islay, a plot recorded in 1815 has been quietly erased from the books. There are old maps, missing papers and whispers that stop when the wrong person enters the room.
Now the trail leads to the dark of Warehouse No. 1 - and to a mystery sealed inside a box. The Lost Plot is a Laphroaig exclusive: a surprise whisky discovery, with every reveal waiting until your order arrives.

Every mystery leaves a trace
The Plot That Vanished
Case Note 01 / The Land
Standing on the edge of the field, breath clouding in the cold morning air, he revisited the mystery. A plot of land did not simply vanish, yet this one had. Marked on maps in 1815, neatly numbered and deeded, it had no certificate of ownership. Old Maclean even swore he’d cut peats beside it as a boy. Islay was an island one could cross in a day, yet somehow, a piece of it had been quietly erased.
Lost — or transformed?
Case Note 02 / The Soil
He looked out over the peatland. This was a land born of decay, of time - pressed down over ten thousand years, brought to life once again in the whisky. Could this be the piece of the puzzle he was missing? The land was not lost. Rather it was changed - repurposed by the alchemy of distillation and maturation. He smiled to himself.
Something is being hidden
Fallnotiz 03 / Die Aufzeichnungen
Doch hier ging es um mehr als ein verschwundenes Stück Land. Gespräche verstummten mitten im Satz, sobald er einen Raum betrat. Eine Seite war aus dem Pachtbuch herausgeschnitten worden. Warum sollte jemand so weit gehen wegen eines Quadratfußes Moorland? Es sei denn, es ging gar nicht um das Land selbst, sondern vielmehr darum, was in seinem Boden vergraben sein könnte.
A Light in the darkness
Case Note 04 / Warehouse No. 1
He turned towards Warehouse No. 1. Its great doors stood ajar. Inside, a light drifted between the casks, carried by someone who knew their way through the darkness.
Suddenly, a hand seized him. Dazed, he watched the light approach, revealing an impossible face - a man long buried in the kirkyard.
A man called…
