About Lagavulin

Founded
1816
Region
Islay
Owner
Diageo
Style
Heavily peated, complex

Established in 1816 on the site of a much earlier illicit distillery, Lagavulin became part of the White Horse Distillers company in 1890 and has been a Diageo cornerstone ever since. Malt is peated to ∼35 PPM. The distillery is known for its exceptionally slow, long fermentation — 80–110 hours in wooden washbacks — which develops significant ester complexity before distillation. The two large, onion-shaped wash stills and, crucially, the two distinctive short, U-shaped spirit stills create considerable reflux during distillation, concentrating flavour and producing a rich, full-bodied new make. Distillation to around 68% ABV, maturation primarily in American oak ex-bourbon casks and refill sherry. The Distillers Edition (double-matured in Pedro Ximénez casks) and the annual 12 Year Old cask strength release are particularly prized at auction.
