Description

Laphroaig was founded in 1815 by two brothers from the unassuming Johnston family on the south coast of Islay. Named after the location that the distillery itself was created upon, the name loosely translates to the 'broad hollow by the bay'. In 1994 the Prince of Wales awarded it the Royal Warrant, an accolade attested to no other whisky on earth. This Laphroaig single cask whisky was selected and bottled exclusively for Highgrove, the private residence of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Laphroaig is known to be King Charles's favourite whisky.
