Let’s meet the team…
Meet Alice
A staple of our Visitor Centre, Alice loves to welcome people from all over the world to Laphroaig, and the beautiful island of Islay. Whether she’s scaling a hilltop to tell guests about our heritage, or shifting pallets of merchandise with her trusty forklift, Alice is always on hand to keep things moving. She’s also a keen history buff, much like her colleague Susan – so much so that the two of them go by “Historical and Hysterical” at the centre. Who is who? You’ll have to ask them!
Favourite Laphroaig whisky: Cask Strength Batch 17 – with plenty of presence, it’s the perfect pudding dram.
Meet Ross
For Ross, Islay is part of the family. Having moved to the island permanently in 2022 to follow in his ancestors’ footsteps, Ross can be seen all around the Laphroaig site, manning the bar, shop, tour, or festival with trademark enthusiasm. As a lover of whisky himself, Ross’ passion defines his work – for him, Laphroaig represents a career and a hobby, both hugely fulfilling.
Favourite Laphroaig whisky: Càirdeas Cask Favourites – a Pedro Ximenez showcase with treacly tones and signature peat smokiness.
Meet Elia
Having grown up on Islay, Eila has a unique appreciation for the island lifestyle, and all the wonders it has to offer. Having risen through the ranks at our Visitor Centre, first joining on secondment back in 2018, Elia is undaunted by challenges and loves welcoming guests into the Laphroaig family. She’s also a dab hand with the bagpipes, if you have any requests…
Favourite Laphroaig whisky: Sherry Oak – its timeless warmth and lush sweetness are unbeatable.
