Laphroaig, pronounced "La-froyg", is an all malt Scotch whisky from the remote island of Islay in the Western Isles of Scotland. Laphroaig is a Gaelic word, and means "the beautiful hollow by the broad bay".
In the making of Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from the peat, gives Laphroaig its particular rich flavor.
