Laphroaig
Published 15/08/2025
Laphroaig is perhaps one of the most instantly recognisable single malt Scotch whiskies. With a fierce, smoky, maritime, almost medical character, Laphroaig is as popular as it is divisive. A loyal fanbase has developed around the iconic Islay Whisky. The punchy peated 10 year old whisky makes it an unmistakable treat for those who enjoy smoky single malt but will drive all others screaming! Laphroaig Whisky Distillery The distillery is located in a quiet bay on the south side of the island of Islay (pronounced Ei-lah).

House Style The basic character of the Abhainn Dearg brand differs significantly from the usual sweet and fruity new brands from other young distilleries.
Allt A Bhainne
Published 15/08/2025
This distillery produces a multiple of many other distilleries. Nevertheless, it is relatively unknown. The reason for this is that Allt-a-Bhainne has no owner bottlings. The malt produced here tastes sweet and has a typical floral, but also spicy aroma. Allt-A-Bhainne Whisky The Allt-a-Bhainne Whisky Distillery is located near the town of Dufftown, on the south side of the Ben Rinnes, in the Speyside. Unfortunately, there was never an original bottling of the distillery, as most of the whisky produced in Allt-a-Bhainne is used to produce the Chivas Regal Blend.
