Mother’s Day is coming up in just a few weeks and it’s never too early to start thinking about what to get the most important woman in your life. Laphroaig Single Malt Scotch Whisky wants to help you celebrate Mom this year in a very unique way ~ with a dram of our famously peaty scotch! After all, everyone else will be giving Mom things like flowers, jewelry, maybe dinner, so why not give her something else. Give her something that definitely won’t be a duplicate!
Laphroaig has several expressions that are perfect for the whisky-loving woman in your life ~ be that your own mom or your mother-in-law ~ even if it’s her first-time drinking Laphroaig!
For the Mom Who Is a Laphroaig First-Timer – Laphroaig Select ($44.99 for a 750mL botte)
Laphroaig Select is the ideal introduction for the mom who is an aspiring Laphroaig drinker. This blend is more approachable than the rest of the Laphroaig portfolio while still managing to bring together robust flavors that are all at once, exquisite, complex and deep.
For the Mom Who Knows Her Scotch – Laphroaig 10 YO ($49.99 for a 750mL bottle)
Laphroaig 10 YO is perfect for the mom who is a Scotch whisky aficionado. This original, flagship Laphroaig expression carries the brand’s signature “peat reek” and is often referred to as the “Gold Standard” to which all other Laphroaig expressions are compared.
Since it’s inception more than 200 years ago, Laphroaig has welcomed drinkers from across the whisky map ~ men or women ~ into its family and have supported women both within its company and in its fan base. As the world’s #1 Islay Single Malt Whisky, Laphroaig is proud to be able to offer something for everyone, including the mom who enjoys and dram of Scotch. If you want a bit more than a bottle of Scotch for Mom, take a look at the other gift ideas from Laphroaig, including glassware, mugs, or even a Tarton Throw!
