Distillery Information
Laphroaig Distillery is located in Port Ellen, Islay and is named after the area of land at the head of Loch Laphroaig on the south coast of the island of Islay.
Established in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston and the last member of the Johnston family to run the distillery was Ian Hunter, a nephew of Sandy Johnston, who died childless in 1954 and left the distillery to one of his managers, Bessie Williamson.
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
