About Laphroaig

Laphroaig Legal battle with Lagavulin

Laphroaig's success has not been without struggle. Around the 19th century, it was engaged in a fierce legal battle with Lagavulin over an agency agreement they had. Under the agency agreement, Laphroaig was to sell their whisky to Lagavulin for their blend. Lagavulin won the case and Laphroaig had to wait for the agency agreement to run out and failed to renew it. Lagavulin blocked the Laphroaig water supply. They went to court again and Laphroaig won. In an attempt to produce the exact whisky as Laphroaig did, Lagavulin sourced the distillery manager from Laphroaig.
