Scope and Content Lagavulin Distillery, Islay, Argyll This is an Islay Malt whisky distillery, with a complex history. There were two distilleries on this site from 1817 to 1837, and again from 1908 to 1960, when there was a small semi-independent distillery called Malt Mill within the complex. This view shows the distillery as rebuilt in 1962. The maltings are on the left, with its pyramid-roofed kilns. The corrugated-iron-clad building is the malt deposit. The maltings have not been used since 1968. Malt Mill distillery was built in 1908 by Mackie and Co (Distillers) Ltd, after they lost the agency for Laphroaig Distillery, to produce heavily-peated 'traditional' Islay Malt Whisky. It closed in 1960. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
