The 1745 rebellion split Scotland in half, pitting clan against clan.
The McCabe brothers, being of McDonald stock, had supported the crown - the wrong half!
By around 1810, they had changed their name to Johnston, moved to remote Islay and bought 1000 acres of farmland at Laphroaig for rearing cattle.
Now to raise cattle, you must grow "feed" barley for the long winter months. And what do you do with the surplus barley?
Well, ferment beer if you are English - but for an Islay Scotsman there is only one thing: distil whisky!
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.
It soon became more profitable to distill whisky than raise cattle - and in that year Laphroaig whisky was "officially" born.
 Laphroaig
Single Malt Scotch 10 Year
The most challenging and individual of malt whiskies, the smokiest and peatiest of them all, Laphroaig is The Definitive Islay Malt. The white oak casks full of aging whisky are stored in a warehouse on the sea, where the wood breathes in the briny sea-mist, air of salt and seaweed, as waves lap against the warehouse at high tide.

 Laphroaig
Single Malt Scotch 15 Year
The LAPHROAIG 15 year old is even richer, smoother and more complex than its younger cousin. Maturity has added spice to the bold peatiness, creating a silky, oily elegance that cannot be surpassed. The Quintessential Single Malt. Some have compared the moment of its discovery to the experience of climbing one of Scotland's rugged mountains. You have braved the wilds, followed your own independent way and at last reached the very top. The view is magnificent - well worth the effort. Your first sip of Laphroaig 15 Year Old will reward you with the same sense of exhilaration. There are very few "ultimate" highs in life. But this is one of them. Our 15 year expression is the reason we proudly display HRH Prince of Wales coat of arms on every bottle.

 Laphroaig
Single Malt Scotch 30 Year
Because 30 year old is so hard to find in shops ( so little is made) we have made it available online for you to buy direct from the distillery.
The aroma, on pouring the 30 year old, gives an initial burst of sherry, the full profound depth and roundness of sweet fruit then becomes apparent followed by a tantalising hint of Islay peat.
