Whiskey of the Day: Laphroaig

Laphroaig  Whiskey


Laphroaig

DESCRIPTION:

“There are 3 main ingredients for making Laphroaig – Barley, Water, and Yeast, but the secret ingredient is the People.”

Laphroaig (La-froyg) is the story of a community. An uncompromising, tough and determined group of people who work to ensure that this defining whisky has always remained true to its origins.

These origins can be found in Islay itself – its harsh climate and tough landscape have created a hardy people whose single-mindedness and honesty is as distinctive as Laphroaig.

  1. I've had Laphraoig and it is wonderful. It's like drinking a grassfire. Intense smoky flavor from all the peat they use. Other greats from Islay is Ardbeg and Lagavulin. Lagavulin 16 will lift you off the ground.
