Production of the 16 Years Old from Lagavulin

The 16 Years Old - Lagavulin is one of the most renowned whiskies in the world. It is produced in the famed Lagavulin distillery, located on the island of the same name in Scotland. Here, only the finest malted barley is used. The water for the mash comes from a nearby spring known for its purity.

The distillation takes place in formal copper pot stills, which guarantee optimal aroma development. After double distillation, the Lagavulin 16 ages for at least 16 years in hand-selected American oak casks that were previously used for bourbon storage. The long aging process combines the rich aromas from the wood with the fruity and smoky notes of the distillate, resulting in a perfected whisky. The outcome of this careful production is a harmonious, maturation-mighty drop that reflects the tradition and soul of Islay.
