Peat smoke and rich pungent aromas
It's the smoke from burning the local peat that gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavour. Filled with a pungent, earthy aroma, the sweet nuttiness of barley and the delicate heathery perfume of Islay's streams.

From a 25km-long, storm-buffeted island off the west coast of Scotland comes Laphroaig (pronounced ‘la-froyg’), a Gaelic word meaning ‘beautiful hollow by the broad bay’.
Since 1815, when the distillery was officially founded on Islay (‘eye-la’), a small team of locals – with tradition in their soul – combined ancient skills, a dedication to quality and the mystical, peaty water of the Kilbride Stream to create what is considered by many to be the most distinctive single malt in the world.
It's big, bold, smoky, with a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness, which makes Laphroaig an acquired taste for some, an essential taste for many – and for those who embrace it, a friend for life.
