The Laphroaig Distillery was founded in 1820, on the site of a farm that may have produced whisky on a domestic basis. Changes in the law in 1816 and 1823 allowed the commercial development of whisky production, the distillery growing over time to become a large industrial complex. It comprises buildings designed for each part of the distilling process, including a granary, malt barns, kiln, still houses, tun room and warehouses.
