Read More About the Brand
Laphroaig (pronounced La-froyg) means 'the beautiful hollow by the broad bay' in Gaelic. Founded in 1815 on the south coast of Islay, Scotland, the distillery is world-renowned for its signature heavy peat flavor. Laphroaig is one of the few distilleries that still practices traditional floor maltings. It uses soft water from the Kilbride Stream and local peat uniquely rich in seaweed and moss, imparting the liquid with distinct medicinal, iodine, salt, and smoky characteristics.
What makes the Laphroaig 25 Year Old exceptional is its precise cask balance. A quarter-century of maturation has mellowed the traditionally fierce peat smoke, creating a sophisticated harmony with the dried fruit, vanilla, and rich spice notes imparted by the sherry casks. This 'art of time' ensures every sip narrates the story of Islay's dynamic sea winds and resilient spirit. The 2017 bottling is a brilliant chapter in whisky history, showcasing the distillery's unwavering dedication to quality cask control.
