About Laphroaig Distillery


Laphroaig has a long history dating back to 1815. Nowadays the distillery still uses its original malting floors as well as their 200-year-old method of cold smoke peating, both methods contribute to the unique flavour of their whiskies.

The hand-cut peat found near the sea is transferred to the ancient kilns with the malt laid out on the malting floor. Several hours of cold smoking allows the barley to be infused until the right level of peat smoke is attained. This process gives the barley, layers of rich smoky and medicinal notes.

The distillery is owned by Beam Suntory and still producing the “most richly flavoured of all Scotch whiskies”
