Archives Butterfly Williamson (Laphroaig) 9 Year Old 2011 57.6% 750mlWilliamson is a tea spooned malt. But what is tea spooning? Sometimes distilleries don't want their brand names an independent bottler's label. So, they add a teaspoon of malt whisky from another distillery and make the whisky a 'blend'.

People know where the whisky is from, they can't put the name on the bottle.
