Laphroaig was founded in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the south coast of Islay. Over two centuries later, the distillery remains an icon of peated whisky, celebrated globally for its uncompromising smoky and medicinal character.
Whiskey distilled on the rugged shores of Islay by Laphroaig Distillery & Rickhouse, renowned for its iodine-rich peat and traditional floor maltings. Cairdeas, meaning 'friendship' in Gaelic, is an annual release crafted to celebrate the Friends of Laphroaig community.
