Laphroaig distillery is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky distillery. It is named for the area of land at the head of Loch Laphroaig on the south coast of the Isle of Islay. The meaning of the toponym is unknown, but a commonly suggested etymology includes the elements "lag" (Gaelic: hollow), "breid" (Norse: broad) and "vik" (Norse: bay), implying an original Gaelic form something like "Lag Bhròdhaig" (the hollow of Broadbay). The name may be related to a placename on the east coast of Islay, "Pròaig", again suggested as meaning "broad bay".
The distillery and brand are owned and operated by Beam Suntory, the American subsidiary of Japan's Suntory Holdings.
Pronunciation : "la-froyg"

Elements 1.0
The Laphroaig Elements is a series of experiments that the distillery team at Laphroaig are creating, revealing unexpected dimensions in the whisky.
In the first edition the team have experimented with mashing and fermentation, using two types of wort and mashing in the old and new style tuns. This gives the whisky a greater tropical fruit note, without losing any of our signature peatiness.
