Laphroaig

A peaty giant among whiskies

Laphroig

Pronounced "lafroyg", Laphroaig has such a smokey and peaty flavour that it's one of the most recognizable whiskies of all - even for novices.

Find out what provides this flavour on cheerful and highly-rated tours at its attractive distillery on a coastal spot on the isle of Islay.

The basic tours should be booked online, cover the whole process, and include three drams at the bar.

There's also a free visitor centre with a lounge and giftshop.
