Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 474: Laphroaig 10 Year Old ‘Pre Warrant’

Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, tries an older Islay. In 1994 Laphroaig received a visit from Prince (now King) Charles, who gave the distillery a Royal Warrant, something the distillery is of course happy to mention on the label. On this bottle, that warrant is not yet mentioned. And while Mark is not sure when exactly this was bottled, it must have been from before 1994 and consequently contain a whisky that was distilled in the early 1980s.

Was it good, or was it bad? Whisky in 2022 has been a bit of a rollercoaster, to say the least. Insane auction prices, auction drops, Springbank being more illusive than Shergar in Atlantis, unavailability, glassware scares, and, of course, Macallan.

But above all of this. What were your high and low points of whisky in 2022?
