Laphroaig Distillery Tours
Laphroaig Distillery

Established: 1826

Many Friends of Laphroaig aspire to visit the distillery at least once in their lifetime. For fans of the 'liquid smoke' the visit to the distillery, and the warm hospitality they receive once they get there, is well worth the trip and will remain one of their fondest memories.

When you visit the distillery, you will be taken on a tour and enjoy a dram of the finest. Annual 'ground rent' (a miniature) is given before you take your leave, as well as the pacing out of your own square foot of land.
