    Lagavulin Islay Jazz Festival 2016

    FINISH DATE
    31 May 2017

    Once a year Islay plays host to one of the biggest festivals of the year - The Islay Jazz Festival. Nowhere else in the world offers such an extraordinary context for a Jazz Festival of international class as Islay, a location so beautiful where visitors and locals meet to create and appreciate good music, good food and excellent drams. 

    The 2016 Festival formed part of the celebration for 200 years of Lagavulin. 

    This Limited Edition bottling has been hand-selected by Iain McArthur after marrying together in a blend of well-matured refill American oak and first fill ex-bourbon American oak cask.

    Lagavulin

    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.
