Lagavulin 16 Year Old was seen as the selection that would appeal only to purists and the adventurous types, with softer, sweeter whiskies taking centre stage. That was wrong. Lagavulin 16 Year Old was a runaway success. It had to be put on allocation and was eventually made the flagship bottling of the Islay distillery. The character of Lagavulin whisky is attributed to its peaty water supply, the heavily peated barley, long fermentation times, and slow distillation. The peated barley comes from Port Ellen maltings and the water is sourced from Lochan Sholum.
