Laphroaig is one of Scotland's most legendary distilleries - founded in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston on the Isle of Islay. The distillery can look back on an eventful history: from a family business to changes of ownership to being appointed purveyor to the British Royal Family. Today, Laphroaig stands for peaty single malt with a strong character worldwide and is appreciated by a passionate fan community - the "Friends of Laphroaig".
Laphroaig pursues a philosophy of authenticity and tradition - combined with the courage to innovate. The house style is unmistakable: heavy, oily malts with medicinal notes, characterized by peat smoke, iodine, seaweed and sea air. Each whisky is crafted with dedication to reflect the distinctive taste and provenance of wild Islay.
Laphroaig uses peaty water and barley, some of which comes from its own maltings. Distillation takes place in various traditional stills. The whisky is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon, sherry and virgin oak casks in warehouses right on the coast - giving it salty, maritime aromas. Maturation in smaller casks such as quarter casks further intensifies the wood influence.
Laphroaig enjoys a worldwide reputation and has received numerous awards - for quality, character and innovation. Both professional bartenders and private connoisseurs appreciate the unmistakable style of the brand, which is represented in many bars and restaurants. The close relationship with the community is reflected not least in the unique "Friends of Laphroaig" initiative.
With the "Elements" series, Laphroaig shows its experimental side: targeted changes in the fermentation process create fruitier, sweeter nuances - an exciting contrast to the typical smoke profile. This line appeals to modern connoisseurs and demonstrates the creative evolution of the brand without losing its roots.
The "Laphroaig Unwrapped" virtual event allows fans worldwide to interact with the team at the visitor center. Christmas traditions on Islay, the team's favorite whiskies and exciting background stories are shared - an authentic insight into the heart of the brand.
