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":"2022-04-07T01:54:57-04:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"banner","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"LAGAVULIN"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2023-03-16T19:33:26-04:00","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":441954861289,"handle":"the-wine-providores-bestsellers","title":"The Wine Providore's Bestsellers","updated_at":"2024-11-08T07:00:01-05:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2024-10-16T23:05:57-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"greeting"},{"column":"title","relation":"not_contains","condition":"gift card"}],"published_scope":"web"},{"id":9281634332,"handle":"whisky","updated_at":"2024-11-08T07:00:01-05:00","published_at":"2017-10-13T23:51:41-04:00","sort_order":"price-asc","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"Whisky Store","body_html":"","image":{"created_at":"2019-08-07T14:33:02-04:00","alt":"","width":1600,"height":600,"src":"\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Banner_Whiksy_Store.jpg?v=1565202782"}}]
A much sought-after single malt Scotch whisky with the massive peat-smoke that’s typical of southern Islay – but also offering richness and a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting tipple. The 16 year old has truly become a benchmark Islay dram from the Lagavulin distillery.
If you’re looking for a food pairing for this beauty, try intensely flavoured salty blue cheeses, which complement the intense, peat rich, sweet and salty character of this Lagavulin wonderfully.
Reliably great. A whisky appreciated by all who enjoy some peat. Good for special occasions.

Just the malt for a cosy night in front of a log fire. Delightful peat and with just the right amount of smoke with lovely rich notes helped along by a few sherry casks. A whisky lovers' staple!

Lagavulin 16 10/10
I received. And appreciated being given, a number of whiskies for a milestone birthday recently, the Lagavulin I bought for myself. Its deep, candied fruits edge and peat are in such balance. A favourite
