Williamson 14 Year Old 2010: A Rare Islay from Laphroaig

Laphroaig releases Williamson 14 Year Old 2010 The Roots, an extremely limited bottling for Buds & Barrels. Named after Elizabeth 'Bessie' Williamson, who managed the distillery from 1954 to 1972, this release celebrates the brand's heritage. With only a handful of bottles produced, this is an exceptionally exclusive offering for whisky collectors.

This 14-year-old Islay single malt resulted from collaboration between Joren of The Roots, who sourced the cask, and Tom of Buds & Barrels, who bottled it. The whisky embodies classic Laphroaig character with its distinctive smoky signature.

On the nose, citrus, vanilla, and malt emerge alongside seaweed and smoke. The palate reveals caramel and malt with hazelnut and peppery notes, while the finish delivers caramel, honey, and lingering smoke. This is a whisky for those who appreciate authentic Islay expression and are fortunate enough to secure a bottle from this rare release.
