About Laphroaig

Founded
1815
Region
Islay
Owner
Beam Suntory
Style
Very heavily peated, medicinal

Co-founded in 1815 by the Johnston brothers, Laphroaig still operates its own floor maltings (producing ∼20–25% of barley requirements), hand-turning the malt over a traditional peat kiln fuelled by peat cut from Castlehill bog — peating to approximately 45–50 PPM for a distinctively medicinal, seaweedy, iodine-rich character. Water comes from the Kilbride Dam, running through peat and granite. Distillation uses an unusual arrangement of five wash stills of varying sizes feeding three spirit stills, with cuts made in a manner more reminiscent of triple distillation for some of the spirit. Warehouse No. 1 is located directly on the shoreline, where tidal influence and sea air directly contact the maturing casks. Maturation is primarily in ex-bourbon quarter casks (for the Quarter Cask expression) and standard barrels, with some oloroso sherry casks for select releases. HRH King Charles III granted the distillery a Royal Warrant in 1994.
