The only way to know for sure is to go check it out :)

And while you're there, take the Water to Whiskey tour: https://whiskystories.com/2017/02/18/laphroaig-water-to-whis...

They don't do water to whiskey anymore, the new version is called "uisge". I believe the primary difference is that they don't take you out to dig peat on the new tour (because all the peat is dug mechanically now).

Still a nice day out with a picnic by the water source, as long as weather cooperates.

Ah, so I see. It has been a while.

The stop to dig peat was fun, but it's still a really good tour without that.

the distillers wares tour at laphroaig is much better imo: https://www.laphroaig.com/gb/book-islay-distillery-tour#id=d...

I think the uisge tour (formerly known as w2w but now without peat digging) is basically just distillers wares with a picnic first.
