Description
In a nutshell:
A classic smoky Islay single malt.
The lowdown:
Initially released as a limited edition to celebrate the distillery's bicentenary its popularity has led to it now being part of their permanent range. Quite soft and fresh on the nose there are salty notes and tarry aromas. On the palate the smoky character follows through with some sweet spiciness and marzipan richness. It's a full-on example of the distinctive Lagavulin genre.
The Distillery:
Sitting in Lagavulin Bay on the south coast of Islay the distillery nestles between its famous neighbours Ardbeg and Laphroaig. While it was home to much illicit distilling in the eighteenth century the first legal distillery started in 1816. In the late 1800s it came under the control of one Peter Mackie, one of the pre-eminent figures of the late 19th century Scotch Whisky industry. He was the creator of the famous White Horse blend. In 1927, following Peter Mackie's death his businesses were acquired by the Distillers Company and through this route Lagavulin has become part of what is today the drinks conglomerate Diageo.
