To see 2022 off in style this Hogmanay, we asked our marvellous new Distillery Manager, Barry MacAffer, to share a few words. ​ "This has been one of the best years of my life, and a huge part of that is thanks to the incredible team who have supported me. ​ Caroline, aka the site mum, has a constant rock. Colin has kept both casks and team spirits high. Greig has had us all laughing. Donny has been huge helping hand. Kimble has been a vital source of support. My mentor Al has been inspiring throughout. Pamela has done a great job filling my old shoes. And Jennifer, whose morning smile is often the first thing I see every day. I'd also like to call out the Visitor Centre and Mashing and Stilling teams, who's experience has been invaluable. And of course, the wave of fresh faces in the Maltings Team, all thirsty to learn our traditions in 2023.​ As we bid farewell to 2022, I want to send the entire site my best wishes and thanks for all their invaluable support this year.” ​ ​ We couldn’t have said it any better ourselves, Barry. ​ A Sláinte to all of our Laphroaig family and, of course, to you, our Friends of Laphroaig. We look forward to seeing you in 2023! ​ #laphroaig #friendsoflaphroaig #laphroaigwhisky #laphroaigdistillery #islay #islaywhisky #islayscotland #newyearseve #newyearseve2022 #hogmanay #hogmanay2022
