Discover Laphroaig Distillery: The Icon of Islay
At Boisdale’s online shop, we are proud to feature whiskies from Laphroaig, one of Scotland’s most iconic Islay distilleries. Famous worldwide for its bold, peaty character, Laphroaig is a whisky that inspires passion and loyalty among whisky lovers.
A History Steeped in Islay Tradition
Founded in 1815, Laphroaig has been crafting whiskies on the southern coast of Islay for over two centuries. Its unique style, shaped by Islay’s rugged climate and coastal location, has earned it a reputation as one of the most distinctive single malts in the world.
Craft and Character
Laphroaig is renowned for its medicinal peat smoke, maritime influence and rich complexity. Malted barley is dried over Islay peat fires, infusing the spirit with its trademark smoky intensity. Ageing in ex-bourbon and sometimes wine casks adds layers of sweetness and spice.
