Lagavulin 16 Years Old Islay Single Malt Whisky 700ml

Lagavulin 16 Years Old Islay Single Malt Whisky

Lagavulin distillery sits on the waters edge in a small sheltered bay on Islays south-eastern coast close to the ruins of Dunyveg Castle.
Lagavulin is said to be one of the oldest distilleries on Islay, with illicit distilling recorded on the site as early as 1742, the distillery dates from 1816, when John Johnson constructed Kildalton Distillery at Lagavulin. The following year Archibald Campbell built a second distillery named Lagavulin alongside Kildalton which Johnson also acquired in 1825. The two distilleries merged to become Lagavulin in 1837 under the ownership of the Graham brothers and James Logan Mackie.
Today it is world-renowned for its smoky, peaty whiskies.

Lagavulin 16 Year Old was first released in the early 1990s, and was originally intended to be a limited edition bottling. However, due to its popularity, Lagavulin 16 Year Old has become a permanent part of the Lagavulin range.
