About LagavulinThe distillery of Lagavulin officially dates from 1816, though records show illicit distillation on the site as far back as 1742. Originally there were two distilleries operating on this site, the first established in 1816 believed to be named "Kildalton" the second in 1817 and named Lagavulin. By 1837 there was only the one distillery "Lagavulin" occupied by Donald Johnston. The still house was rebuilt in 1962 and incorporated the stills of Malt Mill and in 1996 a new mashtun was installed, and automated controls put in place. The visitor centre dates back to 1998 and was established in the buildings that once were the maltings and kiln of Malt Mill.
