Lagavulin Islay Jazz Festival 2018 Release at The Whisky Barrel – Scotch Whisky News
Lagavulin
Islay Jazz Festival 2018 Release
Lagavulin Jazz Festival 2018 Islay single malt Scotch whisky. Matured in first fill American Oak barrels, refill American Oak hogsheads & European oak puncheons and bottled to celebrate the 2018 Islay Jazz Festival. Lagavulin Distillery was established in 1816 by John Johnston on the rocky south coast of the Isle of Islay. In 1908 the Malt Mill Distillery was built next to Lagavulin Distillery but closed in the early 1960s and, whilst some of its buildings remain as part of Lagavulin, the Malt Mill is now a lost distillery. Lagavulin has four stills and produces superbly balanced peated whiskey. The core range is limited to the Lagavulin 16 Year Old and Distillers Edition with a limited edition single cask bottling produced each year for Feis Ile, the Islay Festival of Malt and Music.

Scotch Malt Whisky Society “GREVILLE STREET REFURBISHMENT” – Scotch Whisky News
GREVILLE STREET REFURBISHMENT
It’s going to be a busy month in London – not only do we have a new location but we’ll also have a new look for the original Members’ Rooms at 19 Greville Street.
Works starts on Monday, 1 October to bring you a new Members’ Room on the second floor, and is expected to last around two weeks. While you’re enjoying this fantastic new space, we’ll then give the existing first floor a bit of a facelift as well.
While we’ll aim to keep disruption to a minimum, the Members’ Rooms will open at 3pm while the work is being carried out. Members are also advised to check the 19 Greville Street Facebook page or give us a call for the latest updates while the work is on-going.
We’ll of course be celebrating the new look in true Society style with an ‘Open Doors’ event at the end of October – keep your eyes peeled for more details soon.
