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 special bottling was filled in 1994 by apprentice distiller John Campbell and bottled 12 years later in 2006 for the Feis Ile festival, commemorating his 12 years of service as the first Islay-born Laphroaig distillery manager.
