Distillery Facts:
Founded on Islay's south [Kildalton] coast, legal distilling started at Lagavulin in 1816 by John Johnston. A second distillery shared the site which was first bought by the same family in 1825, before production was absorbed into Lagavulin in 1837.

The Lagavulin 8 Year Old was inspired by the visit of Victorian whisky writer Alfred Barnard to the distillery in the late 1880's.  During this visit, he sampled an 8 year old Lagavulin, describing it as ‘exceptionally fine’ and ‘held in high repute’ in his book The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom. 

Lagavulin distillery manager Georgie Crawford said: ‘The 8 Year Old is a signature Lagavulin-style bottling with a liveliness that balances out the Islay smokiness.  "We hope that Lagavulin fans will enjoy this bottling, just as Alfred Barnard did centuries ago."
