The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the south coast of Islay, Laphroaig has grown to become one of the world's most revered distilleries. It is the only single malt Scotch to bear the Royal Warrant of the Prince of Wales, a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive taste profile.

How it is made

Deep in the peat bogs of Islay, the Laphroaig distillery & rickhouse hand-cuts its own peat to impart the signature medicinal smoke that defines their spirits. The water source, the Kilbride Dam, flows over local peat beds, contributing further to this single malt's unmistakable maritime character.
