A VISIT TO LAGAVULIN (pronounced Lagga-voolin), home to the definitive Islay malt whisky is an experience to savour. Take a tour of the distillery, see our distillers at work and view the unusual pear shaped stills. Peated malt, slow distillation and long maturation together ensure Lagavulin develops a complex, rich, peaty character. Lagavulin is a spirit which likes to take its time.
Children under 8 years are not admitted to the production areas.
