Sold in America during prohibition for medical purposes, due to the Surgeon General refusing to believe it could be drunk for pleasure, Laphroaig was awarded a Royal Warrant by Prince Charles in 1994. The biggest selling single malt from Islay, Laphroaig is one of the last distilleries using its own floor maltings.
In 1994 HRH The Prince of Wales granted D.Johnston & Company Ltd (owners of Laphroaig) the honour of his warrant. At timely intervals the distillery manager selects a single barrel to be bottled exclusively for Highgrove, Charles's family home. Each barrel fills approximately 280 bottles.
