The Islay Buck
Introducing: The Laphroaig Islay Buck
The perfect way to introduce Laphroaig to new friends or to sample your bottle of Laphroaig 10 Year Old in a new way.
The Moscow Mule or Buck was first introduced to the world in Manhattan in 1941. As one story goes, a bartender had mistakenly ordered too much ginger beer, and invented this drink to unload excess stock. The Moscow Mule is now one of the 50 most popular cocktails in the world. The spicey ginger flavor in the Buck comes either from a premium ginger beer, or fresh ginger simple syrup and soda water.
The earthy spice of ginger pairs beautifully with our whisky, enhancing the peaty, quintessential Laphroaig flavor, added to that is lime juice and orange wedge and you have the perfect combination of peat, salt and fire in a glass.
Making a Laphroaig Islay Buck is remarkably simple, so there’s no need to feel intimidated at the thought of learning yet another cocktail recipe, or at having to buy niche ingredients you might not use again.
