About the distillery

Lagavulin occupies a middle ground between the raw medicinal force of southern Islay and a more polished, deeply mature style. Known for its rich smoke, oily texture and long coastal finish, the distillery has become one of the defining names of peated Scotch whisky. Its 16 Year Old remains one of the benchmark entry points into heavily peated single malt.
