Product Description:

The Wall Collection Rope Edition 39 Year Old is an exceptionally rare expression that captures the history, place, and character of Laphroaig at its most elevated. Part of a limited series celebrating the iconic wall of Warehouse No.1, this release explores the relationship between Islay peat and long sherry maturation, expressed through both spirit and design.

Matured for 39 years, the whisky draws depth and richness from Oloroso sherry seasoned European oak hogsheads before finishing in a Pedro Ximénez sherry seasoned European oak butt. The result is a composed and deeply layered single malt, where gentle peat smoke is woven through notes of toffee, dark red fruit, polished leather, and sweet spice. Bottled in extremely limited quantities, only 200 bottles were released worldwide.

Each bottle is individually hand-painted by British artist and ceramicist Laura Carlin using the same green paint applied annually to the Laphroaig lettering on the distillery wall. The rope motif references the historic puffer boats that once carried sherry casks to Islay’s shores, tying together craftsmanship, maritime heritage, and flavour.

This is a whisky for collectors and devoted Laphroaig enthusiasts, offering a rare opportunity to experience mature Islay peat shaped by time, sherry influence, and a profound sense of place.

– Rich, smooth and layered
Treacle toffee, candied orange, toasted hazelnut and ripe dried fruits unfold across a gently smoky and subtly sweet palate, framed by refined oak.

FINISH
