Laphroaig distillery, Whisky distillery in Islay, Scotland

The Laphroaig distillery sits on the southern coast of Islay, where sea salt and peat smoke influence the whisky production process throughout the year.

Founded in 1815 by farmers Donald and Alexander Johnston, the distillery expanded its operations through maritime trade routes across the British Empire.

The distillery maintains traditional floor malting methods, where barley germinates on stone floors before drying with peat from local Islay bogs.

The visitor center offers three different tour experiences, ranging from basic tastings to comprehensive four-hour production facility explorations.

Each bottle purchase grants visitors a square foot of Islay land through the Friends of Laphroaig program, established in 1994.
