Lagavulin is one of Islay’s most iconic single malt Scotch whisky distilleries, renowned for its intensely peated spirit, traditional production methods and exceptional depth of flavour. Established in 1816, the distillery combines heavily peated malted barley with a distinctive, slow double-distillation process in copper pot stills, producing a robust yet remarkably complex new make spirit. Its extended fermentation and exceptionally slow spirit distillation help develop a rich character in which powerful peat smoke is balanced by underlying malty, fruity and maritime influences.

The celebrated Lagavulin 16 Year Old showcases the distillery’s character at its finest. Matured for a minimum of 16 years in oak casks, it develops an intricate profile of medicinal peat smoke, iodine, seaweed and smouldering embers, complemented by dried fruit, raisins, dark chocolate, vanilla and warming oak spice. Full-bodied and beautifully layered, the palate combines smoky intensity with a rich, rounded sweetness, leading to a remarkably long, warming finish of lingering peat, maritime character and subtle spice. Lagavulin is a distinctive expression of Islay whisky, where traditional craftsmanship, time and the influence of peat create a spirit of extraordinary character and complexity.
