About Laphroaig
One of the most strongly flavored Scottish whiskies, epitomized by it’s distinct profile described as smoky or peaty. It’s a quite divisive whisky, loved by some while leaving others shocked. Even still it remains a very popular Scottish whisky. Laphroaig has been the only whisky to carry the Royal Warrant of the Prince of Wales, which was awarded in person during a visit to the distillery in 1994. The 15-year-old is reportedly the prince’s favourite Scotch whisky.
