This new whisky is the first part in a year of significant celebration for Lagavulin. 2016 marks the 200th anniversary for the iconic Islay distillery and there are a series of special plans scheduled throughout the year. We were delighted to be invited to a dinner in London that launched the celebrations and revealed this new limited edition single malt - the Lagavulin 8 years old 200th Anniversary Edition. The release pays direct homage to Victorian journalist Alfred Barnard who wrote about Lagavulin in his seminal two year work, The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom, and became an instant fan of the peaty Islay malt.
