## What Makes Lagavulin Whisky Special? 

**Lagavulin is the ultimate Islay whisky**—intensely smoky and rich in flavor. Crafted on the windswept Isle of Islay, this whisky has been perfected for over **200 years**. The island’s wild weather and sea breeze shape its bold, smoky character. It all began in 1816 when **John Johnston** founded the first legal distillery.

Today, it’s the whisky of choice for anyone who craves that deep, distinctive Islay taste.
