I believe the answer is:

egg

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is it scotch' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'for one with last of laphroaig?' is the wordplay.
'for one' becomes 'eg' (both can mean 'for example').
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'last of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'laphroaig' is 'g'.
'eg'+'g'='EGG'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for egg that I've seen before include "Reproductive cell" , "Poultry product" , "Poached item?" , "Item with a yolk" , "Hen's product" .)
