Lagavulin 2003 The Distillers Edition 2019
An Islay giant, Lagavulin was established in 1816 by John Johnston and its early years were steady, without some of the drama seen by other distilleries. When the Mackie family took over in 1867, Lagavulin grew in reputation and respect. When the White Horse blend was launched in 1890, Lagavulin formed a major part of its recipe and is forever associated with the iconic whisky. The move to a more corporate ownership began in 1927 with the Distillers Company Limited, leading to Diageo today. In an era of famous Islay names, arguably Lagavulin is only second to Bowmore and its value to Diageo is considerable. The current owners have slowly expanded the core range beyond the staple 16 year old and festival releases. Now, we have a variety of age statements and special editions. It’s no surprise that the distillery is working 7 days a week and producing as much whisky as it can to meet growing demand with the bulk of production shipped to the mainland for maturation, due to the limited warehousing on Islay.
