THE LEGEND OF LAGAVULIN

After 53 years of working with whisky at Lagavulin, Iain McArthur hung locked the warehouse doors for a final time in December 2023. Lagavulin commissioned this short documentary to capture the spirit of a whisky icon who is loved across the world despite rarely stepping foot off the island.

It was a pleasure to work alongside the distillery and Diageo brand teams to bring this film to life, from peat bogs to premium whisky filling, in advance of Iain’s retirement and the release of a limited number of rare hand filled bottles of “Iain’s Dram” 18 year old whisky.
