About the Laphroaig Distillery


Founded in 1815 by the brothers Donald and Alec Johnston, who at the time raised cattle. One day they decided to distil whisky, soon word spread out around Islay that the whisky produced at Laphroaig was remarkably good.

It became clear that distilling whisky was more profitable than raising cattle, and that's how Laphroaig whisky was “officially” born. The distillery remained in family hands for the next 139 years.

Later on, in 1921, after many turns, Ian Hunter took over the running distillery and revitalised it.

Today Laphroaig is one of the most iconic Islay's distilleries and is referred to as the most flavoured of all Scotch whiskies that carries a smoky and iodine character, a whisky style that embodies the identity of Islay.
