Lagavulin
Lagavulin Distillery was established in 1816 by John Johnston on the rocky south coast of the Isle of Islay off the west coast of Scotland. In 1908 Malt Mill Distillery was built next to Lagavulin Distillery but it closed in 1960 and although some of its buildings remain Malt Mill is now a lost distillery. Lagavulin is a malt whisky distillery which welcomes visitors at the Lagavulin visitor centre and offers distillery tours and participates in Feis Ile, the Islay Festival of Malt and Music, and sponsors the Lagavulin Islay Jazz Festival.
Sweet, smoky saltiness embraced by a meaty richness. Delicious, drying finish. Richer texture than the annual Special release twelve year old.

Lagavulin
Lagavulin Distillery, founded in 1816 by John Johnston on the rugged south coast of the Isle of Islay, is celebrated for producing superbly balanced peated single malt Scotch whisky. Originally adjacent to the now-lost Malt Mill Distillery (1908-1960s), Lagavulin retains part of its historic buildings. Equipped with four traditional stills, the distillery crafts iconic expressions like the renowned Lagavulin 16 Year Old and the exclusive Distillers Edition. Each year, a limited single cask bottling is released for Feis Ile, the prestigious Islay Festival of Malt and Music, reinforcing Lagavulin’s status as a premier Islay whisky producer.
