Laphroaig 10 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Product Information

Laphroaig, pronounced "La-froyg", is an all-malt Scotch whisky from the remote island of Islay in the Western Isles of Scotland. Laphroaig is a Gaelic word, and means "the beautiful hollow by the broad bay".
In the making of Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavour.
Laphroaig is best savoured neat, or with a little cool water.

Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week
