Laphroaig Distillery
In 1954, what is now the second-largest distillery in Islay was left to Bessie Williamson. She had worked at Laphroaig since 1933, having moved to Islay aged 23 for a temporary position. She would become one of the most well-respected managers in the whisky industry, helping to shape Laphroaig into the brand we know today.
