Founded in 1816, the distillery has a rich history and is known for producing some of the finest single malt Scotch whiskies in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distillery is situated on the southern coast of Islay, overlooking the bay of Lagavulin and the ruins of Dunyvaig Castle. Its location is ideal for producing exceptional whisky, as the island's unique climate and peaty soil provide the perfect conditions for cultivating the barley and water that are essential ingredients in the whisky-making process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the Lagavulin distillery is a traditional, time-honored approach to whisky production. The process begins with malted barley, which is ground into grist and then mixed with the island's soft, peaty water. This mixture is then fermented using Lagavulin's own strain of yeast, which adds to the whisky's distinctive character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter fermentation, the whisky is distilled twice in copper pot stills, which are heated using peat fires. This traditional method of distillation imbues the whisky with the smoky, peaty flavors that are characteristic of Islay whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the whisky is matured in oak casks, during which time it develops its rich, complex flavor and aroma. The casks are carefully selected to ensure that each batch of whisky is of the highest quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-04-07T15:54:57+10:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"banner","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"LAGAVULIN"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2023-03-17T10:33:26+11:00","alt":null,"width":2400,"height":1200,"src":"\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/lagavulin-bottle-price-size-luxe-digital-1_1.jpg?v=1679009606"}},{"id":418096120041,"handle":"new-products-2023","updated_at":"2024-05-02T19:30:13+10:00","published_at":"2023-02-01T16:22:57+11:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"New Products 2023","body_html":""},{"id":85590114388,"handle":"scotch-whisky","updated_at":"2024-04-29T15:07:57+10:00","published_at":"2019-01-26T12:07:50+11:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"sub-collections","published_scope":"global","title":"Scotch Whisky","body_html":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScotch whisky\u003c\/strong\u003e, often simply called whisky or \u003cstrong\u003eScotch\u003c\/strong\u003e, is malt whisky or grain whisky (or a blend of the two), made in Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Scotch whisky was originally made from malted barley.
