Laphroaig was founded in 1815 by the brothers Alex and Donald Johnston. The distillery is located on the south coast of Islay, near the port town of Port Ellen. Since the 1990s it has been a very popular Single Malt since the 1990s. The firm, peated malt comes for 20% from own malt floors, the rest of the Port Ellen malt shop. The whisky for this 10 years old ages on bourbon caks and is typical of Islay; powerful and smoky.
