Vintage Williamson 2013 Moscatel Single Cask

Now if you know your whisky, you’ll be well aware that one of the most ICONIC ladies in whisky, is the celebrated Bessie Williamson. The legendary manager and owner of Laphroaig Distillery, the 1st woman to manage a Scotch whisky distillery during the 20th century. Bessie changed and invested in Laphroaig, even marketing it as a medicine during the prohibition so that Laphroaig could keep running, and her greatest achievement was to win widespread recognition for her success in business, in what was one of Britain’s most traditional and male-dominated industries. What a woman!

SO, it seems pretty appropriate this International Women’s Day to have this single cask, Moscatel matured ‘Williamson’ up for grabs! Whilst it doesn’t say which Islay distillery this whisky come from, I’m sure that you can put two & two together and have an educated guess😉 Think heavy peat smoke, iodine and seaweed for tasting notes!
