WhiskyCast HD: 200 Years of Whisky History at Islay's Lagavulin Distillery

Lagavulin Distillery on Scotland's Isle of Islay is celebrating its 200th anniversary in 2016. It's not Islay's largest distillery, nor does it make the island's smokiest single malt Scotch whisky. Instead, Lagavulin's distillers focus on making the best whisky they can every day, and that dedication has led to whisky lovers around the world falling in love with Lagavulin. That includes actor Nick Offerman, who proclaimed his love for Lagavulin so many times on the TV show "Parks and Recreation" that he's now the brand's celebrity spokesman. We'll look at what makes Lagavulin unique on this episode of WhiskyCast HD.

Lagavulin and Red Breast. My favorite Scottish Whisky and my favorite Irish Whiskey in the same video.
