Laphroaig
A peaty giant among whiskies
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.
