Founded in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston, Laphroaig has long been celebrated for its fiercely distinct, peat-heavy profile. It is notably the only single malt Scotch whisky to carry the Royal Warrant of HRH King Charles III.
The legendary Laphroaig Distillery is situated on the south coast of Islay, where it utilizes local, hand-cut peat to dry its malted barley. Its distinctive seaside warehouse aging process infuses the maturing spirit with unique marine and iodine characteristics.
