Frequently asked
Why does Laphroaig taste medicinal?
Distinctive iodine, TCP, and seaweed character comes from Islay's coastal peat (rich in maritime plant material) combined with Laphroaig's specific production methodology (extended peat drying, direct-fired stills). This is Laphroaig's signature — some drinkers love it, others find it acquired taste.
Who owns Laphroaig?
Beam Suntory (part of the Suntory Holdings group, which also owns Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Hibiki). Bought Beam Global in 2014.
Laphroaig 10 vs Lagavulin 16?
