The Lagavulin is a beauty of a distillery without doubt and its sixteen year-old single malt is an outstanding selection easy to find and worth every penny. The Lagavulin distillery is in the Islay region so it’s all about peat and the sea, and the 16 year, generally considered their flagship Scotch, serves up an ample amount of both. Lagavulin keeps good company in Islay, nestled between Ardbeg and Laphroaig. You can’t really take a wrong turn there.
