      Laphroaig

      Remote and rugged is how you can describe Islay, on the western coast of Scotland, lies a distillery that has captured the hearts and palates of whisky enthusiasts around the world. Laphroaig, pronounced as "La-froyg," is a name that resonates with those who appreciate the distinct and powerful flavours that only a peated Islay whisky can deliver.

      Laphroaig has a storied legacy that stretches back over two centuries, founded in 1815 by two farmers, Donald and Alexander Johnston, who saw the potential of Islay’s wild terrain for producing bold, peated whisky. Over the years, the distillery became synonymous with uncompromising quality and bold, smoky flavours, making it a beloved favourite among whisky enthusiasts worldwide. The name "Laphroaig" itself means "the broad hollow by the bay," a nod to the distillery’s unique location on Islay’s southern coast, where the harsh weather and briny sea air impart a distinctive character to the whisky.

      For nearly 140 years, Laphroaig remained a family-run operation, dedicated to traditional methods and a hands-on approach to distilling. Today, that same spirit of dedication and craftsmanship lives on in every bottle. Known for pushing the boundaries of flavour while remaining true to its roots, Laphroaig’s whiskies are bold, unapologetic, and full of character—just like the islanders who craft them.
