En 1908 the managers of Lagavulin decided to build a new distillery, Malt Mill with the clear intention to compete with the neighbour distillery, Laphraoig.
Lagavulin is one of the great classics from Islay (not only because it is part of the UDV series “Classic malts”).
All the spirit of Islay, (the sea, the peat and the smoke), remarkably balanced is concentrated in it.
Lagavulin is one of the great whiskies of Scotland, a grand and complex spirit that epitomises the richly peaty style that is traditionally associated with Islay.
Part, at least, of Lagavulin spirits individuality comes from the unique shape of the two pairs of stills, which are noticeably broad-necked.
Lagavulin has the same broad Islay characteristics as Laphroaig weight, impact, power, concentration but the details are different.
