Distillery Tours
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.
