Description

Best Dram is a German single-cask specialist. The cask was filled in 2014 and bottled in 2022, a 8 year old Williamson, from cask 257 + 261. Bottled as Williamson because it is teaspooned, a Laphroaig cask with a spoonful of another malt stirred in, which makes it legally a blended malt. The name honours Bessie Williamson, the first woman to own and run a Scotch distillery.

Eight years in Oloroso layer the cask onto Laphroaig's coastal, medicinal character.

At its natural 57.1%, the Oloroso lends a raisined, figgy depth. Expect chocolate, a mossy note, new wood, a sherried character, smoke, a malt note.
