Lagavulin legitimately claims to be one of the oldest distilleries in
Scotland. Distilling on the site is thought to date from as early as
1742. In the late 1700s
it is believed that there were up to ten illicit stills operating in
the district. But by the 1830s only
two distilleries remained in the bay. In 1837 these distilleries
amalgamated to form Lagavulin. At this stage the distillery was under
the ownership of the Graham brothers and James Logan Mackie, uncle of
Sir Peter Mackie who later became one of the 'big five' in the whisky
industry.
