Lagavulin750 ml43% ABV

The definitive Islay malt with rich peat and sweetness

A benchmark Islay single malt, this iconic sixteen-year-old expression is celebrated for its deep peat smoke, iodine, and coastal seaweed notes balanced by a rich, dark fruit sweetness. The palate is dry and full-bodied, culminating in a robust and tremendously long, warming finish.

The story behind it

The maker

Lagavulin was officially founded in 1816 on the shores of Islay, Scotland. Historically known for producing one of the most robust, smoky, and complex whiskies in the world, the distillery remains an iconic pillar of Islay's southern coast.

How it is made

Located on the south coast of Islay, the Lagavulin Distillery was officially established in 1816 by John Johnston. The distillery is famous for its slow distillation in pear-shaped stills and its long sixteen-year maturation process in oak casks.
