Laphroaig

Laphroaig so called after its location, broad hollow by the bay. It would remain in family hands for the next 139 years. 

Established in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston a pair of farmers, currently owned by Beam Suntory.

Laphroaig calls itself “the most richly flavoured of all Scotch whiskies. Their whisky making tradition has been passed down by distillery managers since the first drop rolled off the still. But all respected the unique elements that makes Laphroaig the whisky it is. The Kilbride Stream, hand-cut peat, floor malted barley, cold-smoking kilns, mash tuns, copper alchemy and the subtlety of oak aging. Each and every stage crucial in producing the most richly flavored of all Scotch whiskies.
