Tasting notes

Nose

Drying in feel, and quite gentle. Fresh, clean phenols rise to the fore at once with aromas of a smouldering bonfire on a distant beach.

Finish

Long, finally powerfully smoky and drying, with a twist of warming spice that also lingers in the aftertaste.

Two bottles of Lagavulin single malt Scotch whisky, each beside a glass with whisky, are displayed on stone slabs.

Get to know Lagavulin

Lagavulin is said to be one of the oldest distilleries on Islay and is world-renowned for its smoky, peaty whiskies. The windswept Isle of Islay instils a strength of character into everything it produces and it's there, nestled in a small bay that the beloved Lagavulin whisky has been made for over 200 years.

Distillery

Miles and miles of peat bog in the west of the island provide the raw material which imbues the barley with that distinct smoky flavor. Not to mention the rich peaty water that runs down the brown burn from the Solan Lochs and into the distillery. In case you haven’t figured it out, the smoky, peated Lagavulin 16 is seen as the ultimate expression of this region.

History

There have been distilleries at Lagavulin since the 18th century; though it wasn’t until 1816 that farmer John Johnston founded the first legal operation. A year later a second distillery appeared, this one run by Archibald Campbell. The two were united under a Glasgow trader, and in 1887, Peter Mackie arrived at the distillery, under whose guiding hand the distillery, and the name Lagavulin, was to become the last word in Islay malt.

Lagavulin

The definitive Islay malt

It's on Islay that one of the world's most intense, smoky and rich single malt whiskies has been made for over 200 years. It takes time, but patience is Lagavulin's finest virtue

and rushing good whisky is just not how they take care of things in Islay. With signature Lagavulin style, these malts continue to call you back to the shores of Islay.
