The Story of...

Laphroaig whisky

It's described as the World's most richly flavoured Scotch whisky.

"The most smokiest whisky in all of Scotland"

'Officially' started in 1815 The Laphroaig distillery can be found on the Scottish Isle of Islay.

We say 'officially' as the legend is the distillery has been going since 1800, only the tax man started to get suspicious and in 1815 the business was officially opened.

Famously, Laphroaig is Prince Charles's favourite whisky - he awarded the distillery his Royal Warrant in 1994.
