Laphroaig was officially founded in 1815 but whisky was distilled here long before that. Since then, the peaty whisky has won awards and royal acclaim worldwide. You can visit the distillery on the south coast of Islay, there are several different tours and a lounge bar to try the whisky in. It's worth booking ahead if you can as it's very popular.
Open all year at least Mon to Fri 9:45 - 16:30 but weekends as well from March to September.
