Lagavulin Distillery

On the southern coast of Islay, Lagavulin Distillery is a must-visit destination for whisky lovers, famed for its bold, peaty single malts. Founded in 1816, Lagavulin is steeped in history and surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of Islay’s coastline. Its long, slow distillation process and use of heavily peated barley result in complex, smoky whiskies that have earned global acclaim.

The flagship Lagavulin 16-Year-Old is a true classic, offering rich layers of peat smoke, dried fruits, and coastal salinity. For those looking to explore beyond the iconic 16-year-old, Lagavulin’s special releases and Distillers Editions provide deeper insights into this legendary distillery’s craft.

Visitors to Lagavulin can experience the heart of Islay whisky-making on guided tours that take you through its historic distillery, ending with a tasting overlooking the bay. Whether you’re a peat enthusiast or curious about Islay’s whisky heritage, Lagavulin offers an unforgettable experience.
