Laphroaig Distillery

Located on the southern coast of Islay, Laphroaig Distillery has been crafting bold, heavily peated whiskies since 1815. Known for its medicinal, seaweed-laced character, Laphroaig is one of the most distinctive Scotch whiskies in the world. Its whiskies are often matured by the sea, lending a briny quality that sets it apart from other Islay malts.

Laphroaig Brodir Tasting Notes

Nose: A complex nose of signature Laphroaig smoke with layered notes of sea salt, plum, citrus, custard, churros and cinnamon sugar.
Palate: Full-bodied and bold. Seaweed and iodine dominate, balanced by dark berries, rich plums, spicy honey and sweet smoke.
Finish: Long, smoky and warming, with a lingering fruity sweetness.
