'''Lagavulin Single Malt''' is a [[scotch whisky]] distilled on the [[Scotland|Scottish]] Island of [[Islay]] in the village of [[Lagavulin]]. It is characterizedcharacterised by its strong [[peat]] flavour and [[iodine]] overtones. The iodine flavour tends to divide tasters into love it or hate it groups with no middle ground, and it may not be suitable for new Scotch drinkers. The standard Lagavulin single malt is 16 years old, though they have also released a 12 year old [[cask strength]] variety, as well as their Distiller's edition, [[finishing|finished]] in [[Pedro-Ximenez]] casks.

Lagavulin is produced by [[White Horse Distillers]] which is owned by [[United Distillers|United Distillers & Vinters]] which in turn is owned by [[Diageo]] plc. Lagavulin was chosen to represent [[Islay Single Malts]] in UDV's [[Classic Malts of Scotland]].
