Lagavulin Distillery & Visitors Centre


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.
Established in 1816, the distillery occupies a site of six acres and stands at the head of a small bay. It draws water from the Solan Lochs.
