Lagavulin distillery sits on the water’s edge in a small, sheltered bay on Islay’s south-eastern coast close to the ruins of Dunyveg Castle.
Lagavulin is said to be one of the oldest distilleries on Islay, with illicit distilling recorded on the site as early as 1742, the distillery dates from 1816, when John Johnson constructed Kildalton Distillery at Lagavulin. The following year Archibald Campbell built a second distillery named Lagavulin alongside Kildalton which Johnson also acquired in 1825. The two distilleries merged to become Lagavulin in 1837 under the ownership of the Graham brothers and James Logan Mackie.
Today it is world-renowned for its smoky, peaty whiskies.
