Laphroaig Scotch
Established in 1815, Laphroaig Scotch has over two centuries of experience in producing high-quality, truly beloved whisky on the south coast of Islay. Located near other famous distilleries such as Lagavulin and Ardbeg, Laphroaig is one of the key distilleries that define Islay's taste and stellar reputation. The single malt is known for its rich peat smoke and underlying sweetness, which bring a smooth flavour profile to any whisky collection. The strong peat flavour is formed by malted barley being cold-smoked over peat fires. It helps provide an almost medicinal aroma. Browse our full Islay Scotch collection for more.
How to serve Laphroaig Scotch
To fully appreciate Laphroaig’s signature flavour and peaty profile, it’s best to serve this single malt neat or over a single ice cube. Serving neat at room temperature will let you fully experience the smoky Islay brand's flavour, texture, and feel. If you’re new to Scotch and would like a softer, more approachable taste, add a few drops of water. This option also releases certain aromas contained in the drink.
