Laphroaig distillery is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky distillery founded in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston. It is named after the area of land at the head of Loch Laphroaig on the south coast of the island of Islay. The name may be related to a placename on the east coast of Islay "Pròaig". Laphroaig is known for its richly flavoured single malts.
