Read More About the Brand
Laphroaig (pronounced La-froyg) means 'beautiful hollow by the broad bay' in Gaelic. Founded in 1815 on the south coast of Islay, it is world-renowned for its signature heavy peat style. Laphroaig remains one of the few distilleries to use traditional floor maltings and soft water from the Kilbride Stream, combined with local peat rich in seaweed and moss, resulting in unique medicinal, iodine, and smoky flavors.
This 25-year-old expression is particularly notable for its precise wood balance. The quarter-century aging process rounds off the aggressive peat, achieving a perfect equilibrium with the dried fruit, vanilla, and rich spices imparted by the sherry casks. This 'Art of Time' allows every drop to tell the story of Islay constant sea breezes and resilient spirit.
