Lagavulin

Rich, Smoky and Complex

Lagavulin is one of the 'big three' peated malts from southern Islay, the other two being Ardbeg and Laphroaig. Official founded in 1816 by John Johnston, the distillery draws water from the local Solan Lochs while the peat is sourced from bogs on the western edge of the island. The team run four stills, two of which they inherited from the mythical Malt Mill distillery that was built on the same site, and favour long distillations, resulting in rounder, smoother whisky.
