THE LOCATION OF LAPHROAIG


Called 'The Queen of the Hebrides', Islay's natural resources - fertile soil, extensive peat bogs and wonderful soft peaty water - sea breezes and traditional distilling processes combine to produce the most easily distinguishable of whiskies with many devotees worldwide.
Though you may find it remarkable that an island only 25 miles long can support eight distilleries today, at one time the island supported twenty-one distilleries. In the 1793 Parish Account for Kildalton, the Reverend Robertson reported that 'this island hath a liberty of brewing whisky.'
