Description
With only 232 bottles available, each comes with a wax-dipped top in a BBR wooden gift box and is lovingly hand-numbered. In line with our intention to limit our negative environmental impact, the label is made of spent barley grains, bringing the production full circle from field to bottle.
We started bottling casks under our label in the early 19th century, so to celebrate our 325th anniversary, we wanted to offer something truly exceptional. This exclusive bottling from Laphroaig is a testament to our long-standing commitment to curating the finest spirits.
Lizzy Rudd, Chair, Berry Bros. & Rudd (November 2023)
Every so often, when tasting through our repository of casks, one barrel begins to separate itself from the pack. When this happens, it feels beholden on us to find the ideal moment for such casks to shine at their brightest. Selflessly tasting an earmarked special cask repeatedly over several years helps us to pinpoint the optimum age for bottling - thus capturing the whisky at the height of its development. We had been tracking this barrel for a while, and, with unknowable serendipity, its particular apogee coincided with our 325th anniversary celebrations.

About this spirit

Islay
Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
