Lagavulin is produced by White Horse Distillers, which is owned by United Distillers & Vintners, which in turn is owned by Diageo Plc. The Distillery of Lagavulin dates from 1816 and is located on Lagavulin Bay in the town of Port Ellen on the Isle of Islay.

Lagavulin is a full-bodied, intense, smoky-sweet single malt with seaweed flavours and a huge finish, aged in oak casks for at least 16 years. It is recognised by its strong peat flavour and iodine flavours. Its long fermentation, long distillation and long maturation give it this unique character.

Lagavulin is the Islay malt in the group of the "six Classic Malts".

The Other Classic Malts are:

Glenkinchie – Lowland

Gragganmore – Speyside

Talisker – Skye

Oban – West Highland

Dalwhinnie - Hingland
