"The main aim for Batch 22 was to increase the mouthfeel and the way it engaged with the drinker’s palate, and to beef up the flavors at the back end of the taste experience.

how we make it












John Campbell, the first native of Islay to run Scotland's iconic Laphroaig Distillery —and its longest ever serving Distillery Manager— earned legendary status in Scotch. Now he’s swapping peat for mesquite. Relocating to the Western frontier, he now heads Warbringer Bourbon in Oxnard, California to forge an “Islay of America” where The Taco Trail meets the Pacific Ocean in Central Coast's forever Wild Country.
