Like most Islay malts, Lagavulin is definitely not for the faint hearted. The distillery was officially founded in 1816 (although illicit production on the site most certainly predates that), and produces malt with a signature style of earthy smoke and savoury undertones. 1962 marked a significant point in the distillery’s history, as it was then bought by John Logan Mackie, whose nephew Peter went on to create the White Horse blend with Lagavulin at its heart. The current reception room at the distillery is also the last remaining part of the long lost Malt Mill distillery.
These days the distillery, along with White Horse, belong to Diageo. However, it is generally agreed that while Lagavulin’s core range remains reliably excellent, older expressions bearing the White Horse name still have the edge.
Part of of a highly sought after range of bottlings that were not sold to the general public. Selected by Malt Distillery Managers within UDV (and latterly Diageo Distilling Ltd ) and bottled at natural strength.
