Laphroaig’s Bessie Williamson – An exquisite 25 year old whisky exclusive to the global traveller

October 30, 2019 By Dow Scoggins

From our peat cutters, to our malt men, to our distillery team and beyond, our whisky has always been a product of the many people past and present who have worked with us to make Laphroaig as unique as it is today. Which is why we’re so proud to be able to honor one of our most memorable spirits: Bessie Williamson.

For those of you who have never heard of Bessie, she arrived on Islay in the summer of 1934 to take up a secretarial position and ended up staying for over 40 years during which time she became the first female manager of a Scotch distillery and a global ambassador for Scotch whisky. Bessie had a character as rich as our whisky and we’re delighted to have created a whisky to honor her that is every bit as delightful as she was!

Bessie Williamson is a limited edition 25YO available exclusively in global travel retail (airports around the world). It is non chill filtered with coastal notes of peat sweetness, herbs and spices, acacia honey and black pepper.

Slàinte,

John and the Laphroaig Distillery Team
