## Where Does Laphroaig’s Story Begin? 

**Laphroaig’s story** is one of bold decisions and unforgettable moments. From the beginning, it has been a whisky of rebels—**driven by family, friendship, and a dedication** to doing things on its way. It all started back in **1815**, when two brothers, Alexander and Donald **Johnston** founded the distillery on the rugged south coast of Islay. They brought a fresh approach to **whisky-making**, something that was uncommon back then. The Ilich, Islay’s tough, resilient people, have always been at the heart of Laphroaig. Their hard work and commitment to tradition gave birth to the peaty whisky we love today.
