About the distillery

Distillery

Lagavulin

Lagavulin is a Scottish whisky distillery that was founded in 1816 on the Isle of Islay. The distillery is known for producing a rich, peaty single malt whisky that has become one of the most highly regarded whiskies in the world. Lagavulin produces its whisky using traditional methods, including using copper pot stills, peating the barley to give the whisky its signature smoky flavor, and aging the spirit in oak casks. The distillery offers a range of whisky blends, including the Lagavulin 16 Year Old, Lagavulin Distillers Edition, and the Lagavulin 8 Year Old. One interesting fact about Lagavulin is that the distillery has a long history of producing whisky, and the techniques used in its whisky-making process have changed little since the distillery was first founded nearly 200 years ago. The distillery is also renowned for the quality of its casks, which are carefully selected to ensure that the whisky develops a rich, complex flavor over time.
