Laphroaig
Laphroaig (pronounced “La-Froyg”) isn’t just a whisky—it’s a legend in the world of Islay single malts. Known for its unapologetically smoky, peaty, and medicinal profile, Laphroaig speaks boldly to drinkers who appreciate intensity, heritage, and true maritime character.
A Legacy from the Wind and Sea
Founded in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston, Laphroaig is deeply rooted in the rugged landscape of Islay. Its distinctive flavor is born from a unique combination of ocean mist, iodine-rich peat, and pure spring water from the Kilbride stream.
Described as “love it or hate it,” this whisky has fiercely loyal followers around the world. Laphroaig doesn’t just please the palate—it challenges it, rewards patience, and speaks to the soul of true whisky drinkers.
