About Laphroaig

Since 1815, on Islay's southern shore, Laphroaig has made the most divisive dram in Scotch, a great medicinal wave of iodine, tar, seaweed and bonfire smoke that you either fall for hard or flee. There is no polite version. It carries a Royal Warrant, and its Friends of Laphroaig each hold a token square foot of the island, the rent paid in a dram. Beam Suntory's.
