Laphroaig 35 Year Old Strong Characters Dugald Johnston is a rare, exceptional Islay single malt Scotch whisky, paying tribute to Dugald Johnston, a pivotal figure in Laphroaig’s history. Distilled with the island’s signature peat smoke and maritime influence, this expression has matured for 35 years, resulting in a complex and refined profile. Notes of rich dried fruits, dark chocolate, and seaweed intertwine with layers of smoke, oak, and a hint of iodine. Crafted in homage to Johnston’s era (1847-1877), this limited edition is a testament to Laphroaig’s enduring legacy and tradition.
