Laphroaig
Laphroaig is an Islay single maltScotch whisky distillery. It is named after the area of land at the head of LochLaphroaig on the south coast of the island of Islay. The meaning of the toponym is unknown, but a commonly suggested etymology includes the elements lag (Scottish Gaelic for ‘hollow’), breidd (Old Norse for ‘breadth’), and vík (Old Norse for ‘bay’), implying an original Gaelic form similar to Lag Bhròdhaig (‘the hollow of Broadbay’). The name may be related to a placename on the east coast of Islay, Pròaig, again suggested as meaning ‘broad bay’.
