Lagavulin - through the eyes of Iain McArthur

Lagavulin's Iain McArthur talks about his 40 years working with whisky on Islay.

Iain made our tour! He is amazing. It was our honeymoon and my husbands 40th and Iain had everyone sing happy birthday to my husband and let me extract the 35 year old whisky from the barrel. What an amazing experience. WE are going back this year for our first anniversary. Make sure if you take the tour of Lagavulin you take the warehouse tour and meet Iain and sample whiskies from 5-35 years old. Iain is lagavulin!

Thank you Iain McArthur for providing the best quality and service around the Lagavulin distillery and especially the Lagavulin 16yo, which is my favourite. The nose, taste and 'feeling' of a Lagavulin 16yo is what makes it perfect. Keep it up!

I’m drinking 16 now! What a great interview and story. Makes my dram happy

[@kappyspad1]

I'm enjoying the 16 year now, fantastic !

Yours (Mr. 16) was my first Isla. I have tried the others - but they are not anywhere near as brilliant. This "IS" by far my favorite whisky. Thank you so much for your dedication to providing the world with the best damn whisky ever.

Love this video - so wonderfully earthbound without the bullshit ~ I do indeed like Lagavulin ~ or certainly did in the past ~ it is perhaps for me now a wee bit too idiosyncratic ~ but a fine drink that everyone who loves good malts should at least give a go !! - slàinte ... ~ those historic pics of Iain are a gem!

[@godminded448]

One of the best! Cheers every one!

[@askburlefot2645]

After seeing this. I miss my Lagavulin 16, long gone down the drain ;-)

[@TheAStein]

uh .. bought Lagavulin 16 today, wonderful taste !!!

[@wwolf5670]

God bless Iain. A true legend.

[@efex604]

Much Kudos, cheers mate for your 40 years!

[@KCarver]

Lagavulin to me is; sharing the best scotch in the world with the most important people in the world, and creating lifelong memories.

[@chrish12345]

Does Ian have what you would call an authentic Islay accent, it sounds more Welsh or Geordie than 'modern Scottish'?

[@nickvaughan8100]

Great whisky but the 16 over 70 pound now abit over my budget so mainly stick to Laphroaig and Talisker.

[@Raymaster7482]

So if the 10y old is a baby then what's the 8y old? ^^ Love the 16y and DE!

[@PutOnUrTryHardFace]

a fetus

[@junatanofficial4872]

Ron swansooon!

[@chrish12345]

that old cask was there before he started working :/

[@larsheihei3683]

So, you basically have a baby Lagavulin, a ladies dram, and Lagavulin 16yo. Not sure about the drop of water, though. If it was Lagavulin water, perhaps...
