 UISGE! Laphroaig Distillery: All about it
Ardenistiel was later incorporated into Laphroaig when it failed, largely due to the neglect of the manager who was more interested in using the kilns to produce smoked ham during the distillery’s silent season.
Part of Laphroaig’s particularity is its medicinal aroma — first-time tasters are often reminded of iodine, cough mixture or disinfectant — and this helped it sell in the US during Prohibition — to the extent even of being made available on medical prescription.
When Laphroaig distillery was first built, the small fishing town of Port Ellen provided a route for distributing the spirit.

 Laphroaig Single Malt Scotch 40 Year
The unique character of Laphroaig® has never been duplicated, even by the distillery’s closest neighbours, but is partly derived from the distillery’s location on the spray soaked coast, as well as the peat which flavours the water and smokes the barley.
Untouched for forty years, Laphroaig® 40 Year Old has gone straight from the cask to the bottle at 42.4% vol and is the oldest Laphroaig EVER produced!
Produced using distilling methods first established in 1815, Laphroaig® 40 Year Old was laid down by one of the foremost lady distillers and distillery owners, Bessie Williamson.

 Islay Whisky, Laphroaig
Laphroaig's peat bogs on the Glenmachrie Peat Moss and its water source, the Kilbride Dam, combine in the distilling process to produce the characteristically peaty and full-coloured whisky that features in the top five best-selling malts today.
A round, dry and warming finish renders Laphroaig the perfect night-cap, but not one for the weak-kneed...
Established in 1815 by the brothers Donald and Alec Johnston, the Distillery passed through the family, with much in-fighting along the way, until being sold to Long John Distillers in the early 1960s.

 Laphroaig
MMCD admitted that we use the L word on the label stating that the whisky was distilled at the Laphroaig Distillery - which it was - and that as such the use of the L-word was an indication of the geographical origin of the contents of the bottle and so was exempt from the trademark.
The whisky was disitlled at the Laphroaig distillery, it has been stored there since then in bourbon casks until we have bottled it without chill filtration or artifical colouring.
MMCD agrees with Allied that their bottling "lacks consistancy" for each bottling is different depending on the casks MMCD select after extensive tastings.

Laphroaig, pronounced “La-Froyg”, is Gaelic for ‘The Beautiful Hollow by the Sea (or ‘by the Broad Bay’ depending on the translation)’, and the whiskies are aged in Bourbon barrels.
The Douglas Laing and Co 16 y/o bottling is harder to find and quite expensive and the Laphroaig 30 y/o is called ‘extremely rare’ and it is indeed very hard to find and costs $740 a bottle.

 Scotch Single Malt Whisky Distilleries of Islay
Laphroaig's ("lah-froig"), most popular bottling is a 10-year-old (43 vol.), and what a whisky it is -- strong, briny, phenolic, and seaweedy.
Every time I drink Laphroaig I think about that film -- the cold, harsh winters, the salt spray of towering waves crashing on the rocks, the warmth and sanctuary of a peat fire, the companionship of friends, and a dram of whisky in a local pub.
In many cases distilleries are now selling whisky with legal provisions that it not be bottled as a single malt, or not be bottled under the distillery name.

 Whisky Of The Month
By 1815 the word had spread around Islay that the whisky being produced at Laphroaig was particularly good - their source of water being very soft, peaty and lacking in minerals.
However, even in those days, Laphroaig's liquid smoky peaty taste was highly appreciated by whisky blenders (it remains today the foremost whisky for blending) - and coveted none more so than by those next door neighbours at Lagavullin, who were by now owned by Mackie and Co (Glasgow spirit and blending merchants).
One might have that thought that with Laphroaig's head brewer, copies of the stills, the bay right next door and a near source of water, it would be easy to copy Laphroaig's taste.

Laphroaig 15yo (43%, OB) - Although my bottle is 3 years old, it hasn't deteriorated, and in fact, is the same or very close to the way it was at first.
In the past, Allied Domecq guarded the brand name 'Laphroaig' vigorously and made sure no independent bottler was allowed to use the name on their labels.
For the last few weeks, it was anything but Laphroaig weather, but the temperature finally headed south by the end of last week, stopping just a bit short of freezing.

Laphroaig is a pale comparison of what it used to be, the 10yo CS is the most disappointing bottling i think i've ever had, i was definetly expecting a whole lot more from it especially after having similar aged/strength SMWS Laphroaig bottlings.
Frodo, I picked the Lagavulin CS 12 because it's bottled at 57.8% and the Laphroaig CS 10 is bottled at 55.7%.
I only found 1 bottle of Laphroaig 10 CS green stripe and have been looking for another since.

 Taste Whisky With Slate By David Edelstein
I eyeballed the glass—a bulb-shaped snifter ideal for focusing the whisky's aroma, or "nose." The liquid was a lustrous amber, but I had to concede that it smelled like a slab of smoked herring left overnight on the counter of a warm kitchen.
But the paleness is belied by its monstrous nose—overpoweringly peaty but with its iodine phenols more balanced by smoke and sea-salt than in, say, Laphroaig.
It's a pale spirit, without any of the increasingly popular caramel coloring and its attendant "toffeed" sweetness.
