How cask shapes our Islay whiskies
Every bottle here carries our coast. At our Islay distillery, barley is steeped in Kilbride Stream water, turned on traditional malting floors and seasoned by Atlantic air before it’s peat-smoked low and cool so flavour—not heat—does the work. We run an unhurried whisky-making process for clarity, then fill to oak on the shoreline. The result in the glass is unmistakably Laphroaig: peat first, malt in support, with a disciplined, coastal line running through the whisky.
From there, wood sets the scene without stealing it. Ex-bourbon American oak often lifts vanilla and coconut while keeping the distillery character clean; sherry-seasoned casks add warmth and spice over the maritime core; smaller-format casks (such as quarter casks) draw the smoke close and deepen texture; refill casks give length and composure. That’s why our whiskies show different angles of the same shore—whether you choose something bright and precise, richer and spiced, or long and composed, the island stays in charge.
Bold whisky, Born of Islay
Peat. Salt. Smoke. That’s the essence of Islay. And it’s in every drop of Laphroaig.
For over two centuries, we’ve crafted Islay single malt whisky using time-honoured methods. Barley steeped in the Kilbride Stream. Slowly smoked over Islay peat. Matured by the sea, breathing the salt air as it ages. This isn’t just Scotch whisky. This is Laphroaig.
A Scotch Whisky with Unmistakable Character
Laphroaig stands apart. We hand-turn our malt. Distill slowly. And take the long road, every time. It’s what gives our single malt its intense depth — a bold balance of smoke, salt, and unexpected sweetness.
From cask strength releases to sherry finishes and decades-old icons, every expression honours our uncompromising spirit. Whether you're drawn to the raw power of our 10 Year Old Cask Strength, or the layered elegance of the Ian Hunter series, this is Scotch whisky with conviction.
